There once was a man from Leeds,\nwho swallowed a packet of seeds,\nwithin an hour,\nhis nose was a flower,\nand his hair was a riot of weeds.\n\nThere once was a man from Bengal,\nwho went to a fancy dress ball,\nhe decided to risk it,\nand go as a biscuit,\nbut a dog ate him in the hall.

This poem has more than 4 lines, but it is the neatest poem I have seen about the English language.\n\nWhen the English tongue we speak\nWhy is break not rhymed with freak?\nWill you tell me why it’s true\nWe say sew, but likewise few?\nAnd the maker of a verse,\nCannot rhyme his horse with worse?\nBeard is not the same as heard,\nCord is different from word,\nCow is cow, but low is low,\nShoe is never rhymed with foe.\nThink of hose and dose and lose,\nAnd think of goose and yet of choose,\nThink of comb and tomb and bomb,\nDoll and roll and home and some.\nAnd since pay is rhymed with say,\nWhy not paid with said I pray?\nThink of blood and food and good;\nMould is not pronounced like could.\nWherefore done, but gone and lone -\nIs there any reason known?\nTo sum up all, it seems to me\nSounds and letters don’t agree.

The best poem is one you would write yourself. If you need help just contact me through my e-mail on my Q&A page. Here is a poem for you.\n\nIf I Never\n\nIf my days were untroubled\nAnd my heart always light\nWould I seek that fair land\nWhere there is no night?\n\nIf I never grew weary\nWith the weight of my load\nWould I search for God’s Peace\nAt the end of the road?\n\nIf I never knew sickness\nAnd never felt pain\nWould I reach for a hand\nTo help and sustain?\n\nIf I walked not with sorrow \nAnd lived without loss\nWould my soul seek sweet solace\nAt the foot of the cross?\n\nIf all I desired was mine\nDay by Day\nWould I kneel before God\nAnd earnestly pray?\n\n\n\nIf God sent no “Winter”\nTo freeze me with fear\nWould I yearn for the warmth\nOf “Spring” every year?\n\nI ask myself this . . .\nAnd the answer is plain\nIf my life were all pleasure\nAnd I never knew pain.\n\nI’d seek God less often\nAnd need him much less\nFor God’s sought more often \nIn times of distress\n\nAnd no one knows God\nOr sees him as plain\nAs those who have met Him\nOn the Pathway of Pain

what if there were no way of telling time?\nhaiku:\nThe sun is setting\nIt is getting dark outside\nNearly time for bed\n(I don;t know if this would work or not...giving it my best)\n\nYou could then write a Cinquain and a limerick\n\nCinquain:\nLine 1 - one word that names a subect\nLine 2 - two words that describe the subject\nLine 3 - three verbs that describe actions related to the subject\nLine 4 - four words that express a feeling about the subject\nLine 5 - one word that refers to or is a synonym for the subject\n\nLimerick:\nA limerick is a funny, five-line poem with a strong beat. It has a rhyme scheme of aabba. Lines 1,2,and 5 each have three beats. Lines 3 and 4 each have two beats.\n\nor you could to a quatrain:\nThequatrain is a four-line poem. Its rhyme scheme man be aabb,abab,abcb, abcb\n\nThese are probably 3 of the easiest, so you can choose 2 of them. To get good examples, I will post the site in the sources.
