In this video I show you an iambic meter example and explain what is iambic meter, how iambic meter works, and how you can vary iambic meter to keep your verse from being singsong-y. I also look at word choice, imagery, personification, and diction.

PEEK & CRITIQUE -- for writers of rhyming picture books, prose picture books, and children's poetry -- is a series that explores concepts taught in The Lyrical Language Lab online course, such as poetic meter, rhyme, sound devices, word choice, lyrical language, imagery, and scansion. I read and critique YOUR submitted writing samples of rhyming picture books, prose picture books, and children's poetry, explaining concepts along the way.

This is a FREE service for kidlit writers! You do not need to have taken my Lyrical Language Lab course to participate. This service is open to ALL kidlit writers!
