Consistent Pentameter

Man, I totally forgot how easy pentameter is compared to an irregular metrical form. I've been writing these Veintets (twenty line poems with odd metrical patterns and overlapping rhyme schemes), and haven't written a plain old, straight through pentameter poem in a while. I used to write an entire poetry blog in pentameter, so I forgot how easy and fun it is.

Oh the poem in question is to be found on my other blog, by the by. It's a new blog which is going to be just for meditations on scripture: sermons, poems, notes, reflections, whatever. Check it out.
