Carol:

Thank you! I don't recall learning any such thing in  seventh- or
eight-grade arithmetic, but it was a long time ago. I prefer  English.

Now, just for fun, anyone for a lesson in meter and rhyme  scheme to go
with the reference to Shakespearean sonnets in another post?  (Poetry,
not math?) That I remember though I don't think I learned it in  eighth
grade.

Identify the meter (stanza three works best as it's  the most regular)
and rhyme scheme (count "hear" and "where" as a rhyme) of  the
following stanza and, for extra credit (no looking it up on  Google!),
identify the title and author of the poem:
 
 
 
Robert:

Ode to the West Wind and The Raven
Authors:
P.B. Shelley
E.A.Poe
 
Iambic pentameter and something about tercets but I don't remember how  that 
fits. I was an English major before I switched to veterinary medicine a  long 
time ago.
