Tricky... But doable. My friend has to write one in one night for his english class so I said I'd write one with him... And found it surprisingly easier than i thought it would be :) Not the best poem I've ever done, but considering how tricky it is... :D
---------------------
The waves crash upon the shore
Beating hard upon the sand
My song is lost amidst the roar
Upon the beach they fiercely wore
Beating relentless on the strand
The waves crash upon the shore
Above the deep my sweet notes soar
A graceful, dark refrain's demand
My song is lost amidst the roar
Ships which travel, the world to explore
Yet some - so cruelly unmanned
The waves crash upon the shore
Fragile board and nail, I implore,
Ferried safely back to land
My song is lost amidst the roar
By sail of wind or stroke of oar
Make safe again, as God has planned
The waves crash upon the shore
My song is lost amidst the roar

I like it. It makes me want to know what requirements it had so I might try it.
ReplyDeleteOkay. So the first stanza is (A1bA2) The A1 and A2 are chorus lines. You have to use those lines throughout the poem,the smaller a and b will represent the rhyme scheme. So technically all but the last stanza will rhyme aba.
