Write few poems then study them

I wouldn't; instead, I would rather to listen

#

you needn't take notes for this topic of lesson

#

participation counts for the grade that is given

#

so listen up kids, cause this class is in session

#

If little Timmy wrote, our first stanza today
We'd call the whole rhyme scheme "Quatrain of A"
Cause every line rhymes with the "issen", you see
Now onto stanza two, where's it's A-A-B-B

#

But other than the scheme, there's the meter to count
A meter's like a rhythm, it's the rhythm you bounce
Cause every single line, has a syllable measure
And if you're real clever, you can sound out the meter

"Woah, hold on, that last one didn't rhyme
What the hell's up with you, are you out of your mind?"
Chill, Little Timmy, that's an assonance line
It's a half-sorta rhyme, of a relative kind

And now I interrupt the lesson, cause the principal's here
I gotta stop the lesson, so kids just wait in your chairs
Counselor Shar, we are blessed as you appear
But I think there used to be a poem, (and now it's no longer here)

he was banned, so his msgs got deleted probably.

Anyways, sorry class, what was it that I had said?
Oh right, my bad, so an assonance is read
Kinda like, a word, that shares the primary vowel
It's all fair game, it doesn't count as a foul
