Home (edit)

True paradise lies within the home
The beauty of it all is unimaginable,
Whilst it might be different for some,

To me, it's the best place to come,
I lay there in my bed
watching the night skies,
The day passes by,
we come to realise
My dreams
Of paradise

  1. I think this one might be worse than the first. LOL

  2. The first line starts well (with two iambs):
    true PARaDISE...
    and it ends well too (with two iambs):
    ...withIN the HOME.
    But, in between these iambs, there is one solitary syllable. Swap 'lies' for 'is found' and the line works perfectly:
    true PARaDISE is FOUND withIN the HOME.

    Line 2 works brilliantly UNTIL your last word:
    the BEAUty OF it ALL is UN...
    But then your final word is cluttered with too many syllables.
    Instead of 'unimaginable', how about 'hard to beat':
    the BEAUty OF it ALL is HARD to BEAT.

    Line 3 is not really working iambically at all, I'm afraid.

    Line 4 is almost there, apart from the emphasis on THE in the middle, which is awkward. Although it would change the rhyme, how about:
    to ME there IS no BETter PLACE.

    Line 5 = perfect

    Line 6 = only 5 syllables (not 6) and the stresses fall awkwardly.

    Lines 7 and 8 should be dimeters (i.e. two feet - and FOUR syllables).

    Line 9 = fine

    Line 10 = iambic, but is TWO feet when it should be ONE.

    Does that all make sense? :)
