here’s a snippet from my facebook profile yesterday (i’ve added the hyperlinks and mouseovers for clarity).
anothernicole (status update): i think in iambic pentameter.
my friend ed: that’s strange, because you write in hypercatalectic amphibrachic trimeter.
anothernicole: what can i say – some things just get lost in translation. also, google thanks you for helping keep them in business :p
my friend ed: …and now you’ve gone all “free verse” on me.
anothernicole: @ed
i offer then this emendation (here): / “some things get lost when in translation (dear).”
my friend ed: heheh!
my friend john: whoe’er in meter thinks (and so she writes) / is grace to nerds, a cheer, and them delights.
this is one of the dangers of going to school with people far, far smarter than you.
