Learning Poet

 

I am a poet learning

Learning to be wise

Stringing words together

For poems to arise

 

I am a poet learning

About iamb, trochee

How to use the language

Use it skilfully

 

I am a learning poet

My mind is rhyme embedded

My metronome keeps beating

The three of us are wedded

 

I want to learn my own way

Up this rhymic hill

That I can see before me

I'll get there, yes I will
