"Be HOLD/ how LIKE/ a MAID/ she BLUSH/ es HERE"
This excerpt is an example of iambic pentameter.
An iambic pentameter is a form of a metrical line in which each line contains five unstressed syllables followed by five stressed syllables. They are usually arranged in an alternating pattern.
Shakespeare followed a new tradition of using blank verse in iambic pentameter. He used this form in his writings as it followed the same tone as that of a human’s heartbeat, a horse’ gallop or with the beat of any music. Iambic pentameter added natural speech and the rhythm of life in his verses.

Dear friend ,
Hi! Iam fine here hope you are also fine there. how is your days going now as there is lockdown, and I’m a bit scared anyway... How are they going. Are you having any online classes??.. Well today in this letter I just wanted to share my experience of lockdown with you.
I am very bored during lockdown. Our area is in red zone . So as you know we should not go outside. But it’s a bit scary because the person actually has a gun and it’s very frightening I know your think I should be writing to my parents instead of you but I already did. I just wanted to share this with you and I don’t know if this will be my last time writing to you or not but I just wanted to say I hope you are ok and feeling great have a nice one ♥️
