Scott, thank you for your contribution. I like your idea of the peak within a phrase. There is a difficulty with the descriptive language we use to describe these things, and I am searching for new tools like this to help understand how it works.

But perhaps I will never understand it.

I do agree that "The Listeners" is rather messy in places, giving too much scope for ambiguity in meter.

Janet!

I just saw your poem. It is very good!

Now, tell us - from the horse's mouth - what is your scansion?
