Someone said the meter was shit last thread and I couldn't respond because I was asleep.
What the fuck did they mean? I know the meter is inconsistent (mostly intentional) but is it that bad?

It's meant to help with pronunciation.
The "ed"s I left in are pronounced just as in "sacred", sometimes for the sake of meter. It's very practical and not pretentious at all I think.

No, it's not practical, it's antique. We know how to pronounce words you insecure fag. Also, you didn't apostrophize some words like "un-believed" and "raised" which means you want us to pronounce those extra syllables. And that's some faggy 17th century bullshit. Write for the times or gtfo. And don't fucking reply to me cause I'm bailing on this shit thread

Holy shit, seethe you dumb faggot. Poems play with pronunciation all the time, especially for meters sake. I'll have the words pronounced however I like faggot and you can keep pronouncing "ask" as "ax" like the dumb modern nigger you are. And fuck you, I'm replying to you anyway to bump this shit thread.

Some sophomores think that 'good metre' is when the lines have the correct number of syllables per line rather than understanding that good poetry can dispense with formalisms like that in favour of better expression, vocalisation and rhythm.

That would make sense if the poem had a consistent sense of meter, but the meter is ass.

> " The word was sacred, and writer was saint;
Seriously how the fuck does meter in this line work? Why not turn it into "The word was sacred, and the writer saint;"? That reads much better.

> " No one profane was allow'd near a page
If you read this in the same iambic meter that the rest of the stanza tries to have, you would need to stress the a in "allow'd", which is extremely awkward. That's just not how the word is pronounced.

Overall the meter is so amateurish that all these apostrophs feel overzealous. You made an effort, but you just aren't good at writing in a consistent meter yet. Fix your meter, then the apostrophs can stay.
