Easter Fun

What am I doing this Easter? Oh, I'm just reading a stack of books, attempting to fill the substantial holes in my knowledge of French grammar, and toying with the idea of teaching myself the art of metre (I'm laughable clueless, although I find blank verse fascinating). Nerd, who, me? Not at all.

And "The art of metre" is...?

A poem's rhyme, simply put. I can scarcely tell blank verse from anything else, and the rest are lost on me, so I figured I needed to get a grasp of it.

Wikipedia (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Meter_(poetry)) had something sensible to say on metre, and does a better job of explaining.
