So, what do they mean by hard and soft syllables?
· Quatrain stanzas
· 1st and 3rd lines are in iambic tetrameter (eight syllables alternating soft and hard)
· 1st and 3rd lines have an internal rhyme
· 2nd and 4th lines in iambic trimeter (six syllables alternating soft and hard)
· 2nd and 4th lines will rhyme
^^
The above are the instructions for the ballad....but I don't get the syllable thing? Help?
