ki-ER-on, dammit! stupid meme.

That's *nothing* compared to the second line.

Aw, you can often get away scanning something with an i-glide like that as having one less syllable. I mean, if idiot can be scanned as two syllables ("told by an idiot, full of sound and fury"), then Viridian can be three.

But... "el-ya"?

What's wrong with it? It's like scanning alien as two syllables. (Sonnet 78.)

I mean, you don't have to pronounce it that way. Just scan it that way for the purpose of the meter.

Okay, now back to my exam.
