Getting Started
Although I've included a bit of an outline for the non-yet-written part of the article, it's only a reminder to myself, and a vague suggestion to anyone else who wants to work on this article. I of course claim no "ownership" of the article or its structure. Revise away, whoever will! Bruce M. Tindall (9 March 2009)
I suppose we might also want to say a bit about some of the not-so-generally-accepted metrical theories, like Sidney Lanier's music-oriented system, or W.C. Williams's "variable foot," or the systems that recognize more than two levels of stress. Bruce M. Tindall (9 March 2009)

The article on the unit of length "metre", and the disambig page, were already spelled (spelt?) the British way, so I guess we'll go with that. I checked the OED, though, and while "metre" is "-re", even in British English "pentameter" is "-er." Bruce M. Tindall (9 March 2009)
