Question:Play badminton! The birdie flies above!
A racket held high, aiming carefully
Your racket slices air, you snap your wrist
Opponent not expecting, point for you.


Please help me correct if there are any errors.
Thanks in advance. :D

I read it once through and it seems to me that it is in Iambic pentameter - good job, it's not easy to do!

i don't think so

Your first line is, the rest as I read them are not. Go to Wilkepedia for a definition of iambic pentameter.
