Example Poem

Write a Sicilian Sestet

Sicilian sestets have most simple rhyme. 

The metric foot can be both four and five,

(but not at once), just one poem at a time. 

Here pentameter iambs are alive. 

Don't strain yourself in finding rhyme like I'm. 

Just think ahead and then you can survive.
