Shakespeare Does Iambs

Shakespeare's most poetic lines don't just talk about matters of the heart, they follow its rhythm.

As obtusely as Heinz Kohut (psychoanalyst) and John Ashbery (poet) wrote, I understood them and felt as if they spoke to me.  As surreal as were the paintings of Salvador Dali, they were a special language my unconscious understood.  So as entrenched as the English of William Shakespeare sounded to scores of people, I heard the poetry and drama in every word.  That is the underpinning of why I love iambic pentameter and accordingly why I adopt it in my poetry.
