I'll try one more before this month will end,
to see if I will get it right this time.
I always struggle, for my lines will bend,
while pondering I am, about good rhyme.

I have to think about the meter flow.
It rhymes a - b - a - b, c - d - c - d,
e - f - e - f, two g's at end of row.
I'm going mad, I think, so pity me.

And that's not all, you have to think of theme
It has to be a problem of some kind
It's really sad and even roams my dream
I have to find solutions in my mind

I'm nearly finished, just one line to write
I hope my theme, my lines and rhyme flow tight

A rose is a rose is a rose...I guess...

They flow as tight as an archer's bowstrings, Titia! This is wonderful...not one syllable out of place, the meter is perfection, and I cannot find the smallest thing wrong to say about it...very loud applause here!!!

*Sigh* Triolets, when I first saw that word I thought 'trio' is writing with tree, but later it apeared I have to write them all by myself *sigh*.

I'll try, no apples on the trees yet teach.
