Two Kinds Of Rhythm!
The first poem “With Serving Still” is an iambic pentameter because it stresses every other word. The second poem Resume is an anapest because it stresses only the end word of each line. Both poems have a rhyme scheme of A B A B.

Careful! The first is imabic, yes, but you won’t find 5 beats in a line, so it’s not pentameter.
