This poem is an anchor line
Be patient and give it time
Time to see how the lines rhyme
And what makes this format rich
Did you see what was written?
The first two lines rhyme and then
For the third we rhyme again
But for the fourth line we switch
You see the pattern I bet
The first three lines are a set
The fourth’s like an epaulet
Weaving a uniform stitch
What do we get exactly?
A sense of stability
Woven very carefully
I guarantee it’s no glitch
