Try writing a poem in pentameter about a major theme emerging in The Iliad. Possible options: loyalty, pride, competition, friendship, forgiveness, stubbornness, or warfare. You can use enjambment to help your meter work. Also, make sure every ten lines rhyme. Your poem should also be twenty-six lines long. Here’s a hint- it is much easier to write your meaning, then write your end rhyme, then make sure your syllables work into ten syllables. A rhyming dictionary (there are many online) may also be extremely helpful.
