Writers of /lit/, have you grasped the power of iambs yet?

Have you learned to hear the bob and weave of English? Melville got it right. So did Faulkner. Have you?

Faulker was a manlet.

Yes, but my vocabulary is ridiculously small, because English is my second language.

I've fully absorbed the power of the decassílabo heróico, though.

Writers of this 4chan /lit/-- have yet you

Writers of /lit/! Have you thrown to the dogs all those
two beated feet? for the father of poetry
dropped dolon's gibbering head in the dust via
mouthfuls of dactyls-- though in the original
Greek. For the manlet clept Faulkner and gayboy clept

writers of lit!
have you felt so proud to escape the darbies of meter?
and have you freed yourself from the bondage of your ancestral ghosts?

and do birds know caesura?

Oft on the Board I have heard my Posters,
Spookers and Memers telling a Tale,
Of Summer Faggots their eyes have sighted,
Two mighty Shitposters who haunt the Chans.

The face when too pleb to learn anything else
