I need examples of iambic pentameter sentences to use in my poems. Literally anything would help.

here's an example, 'Shall I compare thee to a summer's day?

Explanation:

shall I compare thee to a summer's day?

thou art more lovely and more temperate.

rough winds do shake the darling buds of May

and summer's lease hath all too short a date.

the sentence does not violate the phrase structure second rule (introduced by noam chomsky) because noun phrases consist of a determiner such as a, the or every, and a noun. in the sentence, the noun phrase the cake includes a determiner (the) and a noun (cake).

on the other hand, the first rule indicates that a sentence encloses a noun phrase, followed by a verb phrase. the example sentence can be analysed as follows:

john (n) + ate (v) + the (det) + cake (n).
