My Sample Poem
Let 'Em Grump (Trochee LaGrange)
Finding not a single
reason
happiness need wait,
I'll use this and
every season
piling up my plate.
Stack it up with
cheer and grinning,
spread it all
around.
There lies our
short-cut to winning-
let gloom have no
ground.
Steer your bark with
fear behind ye-
hope now in control.
Gloominess should
never find ye
Let it disappear.
Grumpiness is
stultifying
'ceptting for to
view.
Sometimes it is
satis fying
watching others
spew.
Standing clear of
doom forecasting
every chance you
find
fosters a calm
health that's lasting,
favoring your mind.
