Heavily influenced by Edgar Allan Poe and his poem "Annabel Lee". It is entirely written in iambic pentameter. Meaning 5 beats per line, and the beats are iambic, meaning unstressed - stressed. Read the poem like ba-DUM / ba-DUM/ ba-DUM / ba-DUM / ba-DUM. ie: "this IS my TALE of FA-ted LOVE and WOE / a-BOUT a GIRL, a MAI-den YOU may KNOW."All Rights Reserved
