  • "If music be the food of love, then FUCK OFF"

  • Want to write a poem ? take a pad and pen .... and push your imagination button .... your first poem wont be as good as Shakesphere's ,, but each poem you write will be better than the last one .... plus : Dont give up !

  • Iambic pentameter does not have to Rhyme. Iambic Pentameter has NOTHING to do with Rhyming. It is simply the measurement of stressed and unstressed syllables that make up 5 feet. And no, poetry is not "supposed" to rhyme and sonnets do not have to rhyme or be written in Iambic Pentameter. So much misinformation is such a short video.

  • excellent job!! u're so great!!

  • Her voice is fucking annoying.

  • @fcpusername If you choose to be a pedant, and speak of grammatical concepts, Then please correct your sentence. Lol or dont I just laughed when I read your comment to saintsFlow
