My Monchielle

My Monchielle
By Doris Ruth Mackey

Here is my Monchielle
Designed by Mister H.
Four stanzas set the pace,
The first line, always the same
In each and every case.


Here is my Monchielle.
I’ll try to make him proud
And follow every rule.
Tisn’t very easy,
Twasn’t taught in school.


Here is My Monchielle.
I think I’ve got it right,
Six syllables, five lines,
A rhyme ends three and five
I'm sure it will be fine.


Here is my Monchielle.
I’m trying very hard
To make this come out right.
It’s been a true challenge
And took me all the night.
