I've been trying to get into poetry to write my wife some nice letters, but this iambic pentameter shit is difficult, fr fr. Any tips for a beginner on how to get to the right number of syllables?

MY BEST TIP FOR YOU: LEARN HOW TO COUNT; START BY COUNTING EACH OF YOUR FINGERS; PROCEED WITH YOUR TOES; WHEN YOU HAVE MASTERED THAT, START COUNTING THINGS AROUND YOU UNTIL YOU LOSE COUNT; YOU WILL PROGRESSIVELY GET BETTER, BEING ABLE TO COUNT MORE THINGS IN CONTINUITY.

Shit, man, correct number of syllables isn't even the hardest thing. Try fitting stops and sound structure into it. And it's not even saying anything about substance and correct metaphors. Poetry is hell if you are doing actual poetry.
You just have to try hard enough untill you can create fitting lines.
