Re: Poetic sentence structure?

I did that, too.  Each line is twelvesyllables and follows the pattern
(- =  unstressed ' = stressed) - ' - - ' - - ' - - ' -.  I think this is
called amphibrachic tetramenter.  Or so says my mad English teacher.  I,
too, have trouble fitting the language to the meter, although this meter
seems like a pretty good approximation of the stress in Eviendadhail
