A Poem

Yesterday I decided to write a poem.  But I didn't just want to write something that rhymed, I wanted to write something in an actual poetic format.  So I googled "types of poetry" and found a type called "minute poetry."  Minute poetry consists of three stanzas where the first line is 8 syllables and the second, third, and forth lines are 4 syllables each (8,4,4,4, 8,4,4,4 8,4,4,4).  Also lines 1and 2 rhyme, and lines 3 and 4 rhyme.  So the rhyme scheme is aabb, ccdd, eeff.  So here is my attempt at a minute poem:

Never forget the golden rule

When life is cruel

Things seem unfair

Going nowhere

Things happen that cause you to think

Missing the link

Just look inside

And you’ll know why

Remember you get what you give

Think this and live

You’re life will be

Loving, full,  free
