What is iambic pentameter?
is this in iambic pentameter? if not can you put in it for me please?
the grass is growing and the flowers bloom
and now the trees are greener even more
you hear the voices of loud children
also smell the charcoal from the grill
as you pass in the car
and taste that sweet, juicy, watermelon
and the roughness of the big black seeds
swimming pools filled cool clear water
or the feel of the soft tan stuff on the beach
as the smell of sea salt flows
surfers surf in the waves
kids that get out to go on trips for spring break
the cars block the lanes
its now a busy time for the beauty of nature

Maybe give some free advice about: School?
The first two lines are in iambic pentameter. The rest of the poem is not. I can't put this in iambic pentameter because the words don't have the right number of syllables or the right stress pattern.
If you separate the lines into syllables, you should have ten syllables, in five pairs of stressed/unstressed. For example, let's look at your first two lines:
the / GRASS / is / GROW / ing / AND / the / FLOW / ers / BLOOM
Do you get it now?
