Is it normal to start righting a poem and then look back to find that you are compulsively writing in iambic octameter?

yeah what he said
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Iambic_Pentameter
go look at that. Iambic octameter is like iambic pentameter but with eight iambs instead of five. An iamb is a stressed syllable followed by an unstressed syllable. It's used in poetry to provide a rhythm.
I'm guessing from the responses that the answer to my question is no, more on the basis that I know something about poetic meter than the fact that I write poems that have rhythm.

I should just stick to limericks. You people know what limericks are don't you?
My friend billy has a 10 foot willy
and he showed it to the woman next door
she thought it was a snake
so she hit it with a rake
and now it's only 3 foot 4.

I love it Bobert, just love it. Funny poems are the best type.
There was a young man from Kent
whos prick was horribly bent
to save any trouble
he shoved it in double
and istead of cumming he went
There once was a woman from Wheeling
who proffessed to lack sexual feeling
till a cynic named Boris
Just flicked her clitoris
and she had to be scraped from the ceiling.
Why do all of these poems have to have a sexual subject matter?
there was a man from Ogoshem
who'd pull down his balls to wash 'em
his mum saw him and said
"jack, if you don't put ya balls back,
i'll tread on the bastards and squash 'em!"

there was an old lady from spain
who left a poor baby on a train
the train gave a grunt
ripped out her c**t
and left the old bitch in pain.
there was a lady named dot
who lived on pigshit and snot
when she ran out of these
she ate the green cheese
that grew on the sides of her twat!

i got more but couldn't be bothered typing.
@: roger49
Ok, non sexual..

There was an old lady from Leeds
Who ate a packet of seeds
A turf of grass
Grew out her ass
And she coudn't shite for weeks.
@: Bobert
That was meant to be "and she couldn't* shite for weeks"
there was an young lady from Sydney
who let a man rip out her kidney
she went to a mall
to grab a ball
now shes in Juvenile Hall
there once was a man from kanass
who's nuts were made out of brass
in stormy weather
he'd clack them together
and lightning shot out of his ass
there was a man from Fife
who cut his balls with a knife
He dropped to the floor
and asked the whore
and she said get a life
good one kiwimaster, now i've got one:

There once was a guy from New York
He loved to eat his pork
He went to the store
To buy some more
He ended up buying a fork

I know that was lame, but i suck at poetry
OH HOW CUTE-ROGER GOT ALL HIS "LITTLE BOYFRIENDS" TO COME AND RESCUE HIM. HOW SPECIAL. MAYBE YOU COULD ALL CELEBRATE AND ROLL NAKED IN BABY OIL-YAY FOR THE LITTLE ANGRY MEN.

I'M LAUGHING AT YOU ALL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
go back to watching you innefective self-help videos, invis.
Quite the contrary babe, I told nobody to post on your story and I haven't spoken to shaver in some time. I believe you'll find that the real reason you drew a negative response is because you played the "you hate me because you're lowlife and I'm a rich woman" card while I was being civil. And seeking me out like this doesn't help your cause any.
On please-that's why you started insulted me. Why don't you and smithee suck each other off and get it over with????? You're perfect for each other-living at home, on social services-how special. You're the people we used to put in trashcans in high school.
Dont you think 35 is a bit too old to be a wannabe goth
you say u are rich but i seriously doubt it. rich pple get bored with bragging bout their money fast. poor pple talk bout money alot more than rich ones imo. i think u are jst reveling in the fact that you can be whatever u want to be cos this is the internet & your rants & lashing out are just you purging your frustrations of life on faceless targets to avoid any confrontatiions with pple in your life who are hurting you.
Zipity doda zipity ay my o my what a woderfull day
