Brian,
Welcome to the site.
Some write iambic pentameter with ease I do not. Although iambic pentameter is technically present, syntax has been sacrificed in order to attain it leading to a lack of clarity and confusion. For example "vernal vestige" (nice alliteration)does not mean the same as "vestiges of spring". No doubt the writer knows what is meant, but this information is not translated to the reader. These are common problems related to writing in iambic pentameter.
best,
dale

How long after picking up the brush, the first masterpiece?
The goal is not to obfuscate that which is clear, but make clear that which isn't.
