I'm learning it in my class right now... and i don't understand it!
I feel retarded when i try to complete the exercises in class. I can't figure out which words are stressed.

Can you help me out and mark the stressed and unstressed syllables in my poem?
(you don't have to do the whole thing)
You can just capitolize the stressed syllables.
Thank you... i REALLY appreciate it.

White pure snowflakes fall from up above,
where the cold monotone sky remains.
And as they softy settle to the ground,
They leave melting snow to be found.

Skeletons remain where there once were lively trees;
Trees that shed their foliage when the frigid air arrived.
The winter sun peculiarly hangs cold and out of place.
Sleep and laze fill the air, and put me in a daze.

Dazed and shivering I sit and wait,
For the cold dead months to pass.
For new bright buds to light up the gray landscape:
So that I too might spring color into my darkened mood.
