I didn't really know what Iambic pentameter is. There were no examples in the prompt. My friend helped me recognise ten syllable phrases in my newspaper, but I wasn't inspired by the result, so we turned to today's prompt.
'Select a passage from one of your newspaper articles. Replace each noun in te passage with the seventh noun following it in the dictionary.'
This was much more fun. Although, I have cheated- a bit!
DAYLIGHT ROBBERY ON THE NORTH STAR
Sciatica hollows
where the yin
temptressshows-off the weepie’s smoking jacket-
a Yiddish weave-
with levity and
levitation.
Daylight robbery
on the North Star.
The poltoon with
time-off and yellow feverlooks south-south-east for filberts.
