Let's Learn Together [Tutorial]

Sir Thomas Wyatt was born at Allington Castle in Kent, England in 1503. Like his father before him, he worked in the court of Henry VIII. He was admired by many people not only because he is handsome but also because of his skill in music, jousting, and languages. Though Wyatt's poems were popular to many people in Henry's court, they were only published and printed when he died. One of his compositions was  the SECOND SATIRE. 

This poem was written with two stanzas which was formed in a tercet pattern. What is a tercet pattern? According to wikipedia, A tercet is composed of three lines of poetry, forming a stanza or a complete poem. English-language haiku is an example of an unrhymed tercet poem. A poetic triplet is a tercet in which all three lines follow the same rhyme, a a a; triplets are rather rare; they are more customarily used sparingly in verse of heroic couplets or other couplet verse, to add extraordinary emphasis.

From Second Satire

Sir Thomas Wyatt (1503-42)

My mother's maids, when they did sew and spin,

They sang sometimes a song of the field mouse,

That for because their livelihood was but so thin.

Would needs go seek her townish sister's house.

She thought herself endured to much pain:

The stormy blasts her cave so sore did souse...

The rhyme scheme of this poem is a, b, a, - b, a, b.

Like a Sheep

by: Mark Gil G. Belgira

If I were to dream an impossible thing,

That would be I think to become like a sheep:

Blah, blah , blah so all day I'll sing.

My master will guard me as I sleep,

He watches my every heart's beating.

His promises are true -that my heart should keep.

RECOMMENDATION:

In order for you to make and come up with a good poem, you should bear in mind that in everything you do you should put your HEART! "Don't pretend and try to be a good one but to be honest in making the one."

People might be so anxious about the structure and what style should they use but what really important is you fully expressed your soul in making a poem. "Meaning will come naturally and not made of."
