Iambic what the!?

[alanshb]

I've never known a time when I could reach
under the silver silence of the sea
a place inside myself where I could teach
the simple things to fall or fly esprit
away now in the dawning of the day
along the hills and valleys of the mind
a path appears and then is whisked away
to never rise above the sea or line

That is my contribution to iambic pentameter for the year. I promise.
