First we have a little history of Russian poetry.
reform Russian versification
process of forming the size of poems (one pentameter chetyrehstopnym) in Russian literature came long and uniform.At the beginning of the XVIII century rhyme it was cumbersome, heavy and very difficult perceived.But after a few decades, poetry has been subjected to a large-scale reformation, which is associated primarily with the names and Trediakovsky University.Last I compiled all the knowledge of versification, recognizing the equality of all sizes allocated Trediakovskij, but he opted for iambic.I must say, he is not alone.Pentameter firmly entrenched in the works of many great Russian poets such as Derzhavin, Zhukovsky, Pushkin and Lermontov.
most common size was the chetyrehstopnym pentameter.Foot - a group of syllables in the poem, which share a common rhythm, in other words, the accent.The number four in the title indicates that the emphasis must be put on every even (second row) syllable.From these simple researches and develops itself pentameter.Consider the illustrative examples.
How to pentameter?
not so difficult to determine chetyrehstopnym pentameter, there are examples of it in very large quantities.If you show the size of random syllables, and for clarity identify large letters are syllables, which will decrease the stress, you get something like:
Tada Tada Tada puBUM
Tada puBUM Tada Tada
And so on, examples can belead indefinitely.Together, the head of syllables easily substitute the word and thus gain a couplet, the amount of which - chetyrehstopnym pentameter:
You're my favorite, a bright ray,
with you not afraid of the hosts of the clouds!
Those syllables that go behind the drums, called "clause."A stress on each line - iktami.When reading aloud some stress can be passed to make the line more melodic, flying, weightless.Such a method is referred to as "pyrrhic."But to understand pentameter chetyrehstopnym whether in front of you, you need to rewrite a single line of the poem and to highlight all the stress, and then calculate how much product in stressed syllables.It is important to remember that the emphasis should fall exactly on an even syllable!
What happens pentameter?
Do not think that there is only chetyrehstopnym pentameter.Number of stop depends on the author's poetic works.Therefore, we can meet even its odnostopnuyu modification, for example:

If the odd line - before you dvuhstopny pentameter, even if - trehstopny.
Kara, Kara
Tara, Tirana, Varano
Such examples can offer endless.A variation depends only on the iambic poet.But iambic chetyrehstopnym undoubtedly the most popular of all.Increased attention has arisen because of the simplicity, this weightless poetic rhythm.It is easy and pleasant to write and read - even easier.Pentameter actively use to this day.Learn to identify it once, you may be able to compose themselves and good poetry.It would rhyme and melody can be dealt with.We wish you good luck in all your endeavors!
