79: Iambic Pentameter

Image Text

Of course, you don't wanna limit yourself to the strict forms of the meter. That could get pretty difficult.

Description

Iambic Pentameter (origin Greece) is an art of composing prose common to the much more known Haiku. In spite of Haiku, the simple rule of Iambic Pentameter is that you write no more, no less than five (penta means five in Greek) iambs per line, an iamb being an unstressed syllable followed by a stressed one. The responses given in the comic are each one line visually broken into two for space reasons. They should read:

“Well, I can MEET the PLANE at TEN of SIX” and “I’ll MEET him AT the STAIRS beFORE the GATE”

Cueball's hobby is speaking in this prose, hence, he uses five iambs per line in the above comic.

The image text warns you that answering every question by using this art form can become difficult.
