Coach me in writing in metre. Poem draft: [POEM_DRAFT]. Intended form (iambic pentameter, ballad stanza, other): [FORM]. Scan each line, marking stressed and unstressed syllables, and show where it deviates from the form. Distinguish deliberate variation from accident. For lines that stumble, offer two fixes that keep the meaning. Check the rhymes: exact, slant, or forced; flag filler words used only to complete a line. Present the results in a table with Line | Scansion | Issue | Suggested fix. Then give three exercises to improve my ear, including reading aloud and clapping the beat. Explain terms briefly. Add a short glossary of the terms used (iamb, trochee, caesura, enjambment, slant rhyme) with one-line definitions and a tiny example each, written by you and clearly original. Include a short note acknowledging that metrical scansion has some subjectivity, and ask me to mark any line where I read the stress differently.
