Definition: Here it is, folks. Probably the single most useful technical term in poetry (and in drama, too). Shmoopers, if you learn one term in poetry, let it be the old I.P. Or maybe metaphor. But you already knew that one. Let's break it down: 1  An iamb is a metrical foot that consists of an unstressed syllable followed by a stressed oneâdaDUM. 2  Penta-means five. 3  Meter refers to a regular rhythmic pattern in poetry.
HEALING Nipples usually take approximately 6-10 weeks to heal, and they usually heal without any problems. Your nipple will be slightly tender to the touch for several days after the piercing, but this will gradually go away. However, your nipples will always be more sensitive so don't be too rough with them during sex.
Soak each pierced nipple for about 5 minutes and then rinse well. The less aggravation your piercing undergoes, the quicker the healing time will be. It should only take about 6-8 weeks. In my case, it took 6 months because my youngest daughter was still very small when I got mine pierced. She was climbing up on my lap one day and grabbed my nipple......ouch! This set the piercing back to the beginning as far as healing goes, so be careful! If it's been many months and your nipples still haven't healed, you may have an allergy or sensitivity to the jewelry you are wearing.
