Next let’s look at a looser scheme.
xaxa
This scheme’s a little looser and less predictable than some of the others. Rhyme lines 2 and 4; make sure that lines 1 and 3 don’t rhyme. The two non-rhymed lines will allow you some freedom–and save mileage on your rhyming dictionary.
Write a poem with as many stanzas as you like using the rhyme scheme above. Post your poem to comments!
Heart’s Shattered, Memories Battered
Promises Tattered, Nothing Mattered
My Reasons to smile, Love Worthwhile
Passion burned, Lesson’s learned
Overcome hate, unforgiving berate
Forgetting you,, Making it through
Remembering me, Holding the Key….
Heart’s Shattered, Memories Battered
Promises Tattered, Nothing Mattered
Abigail by Gracie
Her eyes are green.
They remind me of spring.
The freckles on her cheeks
Make the angels sing.
She is my sister,
But also my close friend.
If someone breaks us,
Our friendship will mend.
