12. Stanzas and Verses
Poetry is divided by Stanzas and Verses.
I sing a sonnet for you,
to immortalize my love,
I sing a sonnet for you,
such ethereality as further memories,
such pureness as youth sights,
such beauty as smile's meaning,
I sing a sonnet for you,
to tell my infinite love after years,
may tomorrow be late,
I sing a sonnet for you...
-Nasibeh Daneshvar

poetry is rhyme.

similar.

When working with rhyme, you should
always remember that the most important
part of verse is the last word.

Twinkle, twinkle little star!
How I wonder what you are
Up above the world so high.
Like a diamond in the sky.

15. Practice
Nature’s first green is gold,
Her hardest hue to hold.
Her early leaf’s a flower;
But only so an hour.
Then leaf subsides to leaf
So Eden sank to grief
So dawn goes down today.
Nothing gold can stay.

When I was one and twenty
I heard a wise man say.
‘Give crowns and pounds and guineas
But not your heart away;
Give pearls away and rubies
But keep your fancy free’
But I was one-and-twenty
No use to talk to me!

And fare thee well awhile,
And I will come again, my luv,
Though it were ten thousand miles.
