Though writer I may be,
A love and passion, I agree;
...
Thine eyes shun mine; for shamed
Thou art of darkest sin in me.
...
Catharsis brings relief
They say. The feelings come, are purged
...
4 lines, iambically,
3 feet, then 4, then 4 and 3
...
When can I speak my heart?
For many days I've wandered mute.
...
Eight hours of work each day,
Eight hours spent cutting grass and weeds,
...
In dying, brought me life,
In living, gave eternal hope;
...
Your songs run in my mind
To torment inability
...
