Question: Is this poem in Iambic Pentameter!?!?
though we've shared so much I fear you'll forget,
just how much we have helped eachother grow
weve been smiling and laughing since we met
but our encounters have reached a new slow
our conversations now lack emotion
and our openness continues to fade
so now i can't help but get the notion
should we just quit this game we've long outplayed!?
Or could this be one of those rough patches!?
A minor difference in agendas!?
For when I see you a smile still hatches!.
I pray there is something that can mend us!.
Can it be fixed or not soon will we see,
But you'll never be just a memory!.

I know its not all in iambic yet!.!.!. but i really need help changin it around without losing my rhyme scheme!.!.!.!. PLEASE HELP!Www@QuestionHome@Com

I could probably help, but first, when is it due!? You can feel free to e-mail me if you'd like!. I need to know when it's due so I can have a chance to work on it!. Iambic pentameter is tricky, I know!.

Your third line is mostly right, just change it to this: "been smiling and laughing since we have met!."Www@QuestionHome@Com

Sorry, that poem has absolutely no iambic pentameter at all! Try something more childish with simple rhymes like cat and mat!. That poem is pretty much impossible to change into iambic pentameter!.Www@QuestionHome@Com
