Dear B, In its context your line from your earlier post:
"My verse tends to the two-thirds pun" has a brilliant medial substitution. You've a trochee in position two, which beginners shouldn't try to do! From what little I've seen of your verse, its great merit is a sure sense of lineation, which utterly escapes most practitioners. No, don't confine yourelf to beginner's rules or light verse for that matter. Post something ambitious on Metrical III, and let us tear it apart.
