Poetry

[aguy]

I have now reached my true weakness poetry.
So I would really apreciate some help on the poem landscape with the fall of icarus. I have some ideas and i know the background of the poem, but i what I really need help with is rhyme and meter. Mainly the stressed unstressed. Any help or ideas appreciated thanks.

Here is the poem.

According to Brueghel
when Icarus fell
it was spring

a farmer was ploughing
his field
the whole pageantry

of the year was
awake tingling
near

the edge of the sea
concerned
with itself

sweating in the sun
that melted
the wings' wax

unsignificantly
off the coast
there was

a splash quite unnoticed
this was
Icarus drowning

[Wisemon]

Ah, you're in luck. Guess who was the only student to ace a poetry class with a reputedly tough professor. I won't go through the whole poem, but I'll try to get you started.

when Icarus

soft/strong/soft/strong

These two words form iambic dimeter.

sweating in the sun

strong/soft/strong/soft/strong

This is trochaic dimeter with an extra beat.

Actually, on the whole, this poem doesn't appear to have a consistent meter. It's a rather lazy poem.
