PLEASE LET ME KNOW IF I AM CORRECT!!! ITS PLATO!!!



Match each line of poetry to the type of meter it contains.
My mother bore me in the
southern wild,
Like Honus Wagner or
like tyrus Cobb.
The two were still but one,
Is this a holy thing to see,
'Tis morning; and the sun
with ruddy orb
The wind blew high,
the waters raved,
It powders all the Wood.
Nor for itself hath any
care,

In poetry, an iamb is a metrical foot (a group of syllables) that has one UNSTRESSED syllable followed by a STRESSED syllable. For example, the word remark is an example of an iamb because re is an unstressed syllable and mark is a stressed syllable.

There are different types of iambs, and they are classified according to the number of iambs that there are per line in a poem: dimeter (two iambs per line), trimeter (three iambs), tetrameter (four iambs), pentameter (five iambs) and hexameter (six iambs).

Here's each line matched to the type of meter it contains:

Iambic trimeter

  • The two were still but one, = 3 iambs
  • Nor for itself hath any care, = 3 iambs

Iambic pentameter

  • My mother bore me in the southern wild, = 5 iambs
  • Like Honus Wagner or like tyrus Cobb. = 5 iambs
  • 'Tis morning; and the sun with ruddy orb = 5 iambs

Iambic tetrameter

  • Is this a holy thing to see, = 4 iambs
  • The wind blew high, the waters raved, = 4 iambs
  • It powders all the Wood. = 4 iambs
