Example Poem

A Nibor
is a bank rate
of exchange

in Norway.
It is also
poetry.

Invented
here, on A. P.
by our own.

Its requirements are
that you know how to count
and limit yourself
by lines within stanzas.

Also you must use
a specific number
of syllables in
each particular line.

Three tercets to start.
Followed by three quatrains.
Three tercets to end-
almost; there's one more line.

It is its
stanza alone.
and must rhyme.

Restrictions
to free-form with
no reward.

You need not
even know what
meter is.

It that hot?
