The Picture of His Face

no it isn't as i learnt to my dismay nor does iambic pentameter have to be a consistent 5 feet long but learning the meter is hard enough as it is, so i'd suggest getting the old fashion soft hard stress down pat and when you're almost good at it, try some alterations like ending on a soft syl and starting on a hard one. once you have a grasp of the meter milo can show you all the deviations that are allowed from it.
