The same applies to poetry. I determined to master some of the art by daily writing a quatrain of iambic pentameter with the rhyme sequence of ABBA. The quatrain also had to include a caesura and an enjambment. After a year of this I tried other feet such as trochees and anapests. Net result? Poetry is too hard and I'd better stick to photography!

So you were a poet and blew it.
