Seems like not all the feet here are iambs. Beginning of line two is a trochee.

EDIT: Also, "not much time for you to train" has 7 beats...it can't be iambic quadrameter with seven beats. Not to mention the beginning of this line isn't iambic at all. Just don't want to go down the wrong track here...

What we have so far??
2nd line is wrong - needs 4 words and gates doesn't rhyme with fate
Should be:
Eleven days until my fate
meets me just inside the gate

The fifth line probably ends in praise...unless you got something else that rhymes with days.

Could be "he slang praise"...

Yeah... you're right... a trochee is an inverted iamb, though... and we all know Cassie's a big fan of inverting things

PHRASE would rhyme with days...

Even if you ignore the several exceptions to iambic meter in the poem thus far, "not much time for you to train" doesn't fit either iambic or trochee meter.

There's an L in the "singing praise" though...
