Poems in Iambic pentameter have a rhythm like this:
da-DUM da-DUM da-DUM da-DUM da-DUM
Like a heart beat.
I hope you enjoy.

(Plain writing Version)
To plunge in mud to none bottom below.
To shake an' screech in great unmatch'd delight.
Embracing the heavy marsh bound swee' hug.
Squirming in tight embrac'd marsh licked bondage.
Soft chirps of birds tweeting some songs out loud.
Belov'd sweet scents of earthly mud below.
Soft brown sogg'd ground surround visions abound.
Smooth sludge slimes skin to slurp suck'd in sooth'd limbs.
So stuck within i''s steadfas' caress'd grasp.
Escape nor liberty now plagues the mind.
Mired delight is quite a great pleasure.
So it is the mos' valued grand treasure.

Try saying it out loud! That's where the poem truly shines. Especially the 3rd line in the second paragraph/stanza. That whole line rhymes with itself.
