Cool Freshly Hellish Communal 6-line AABCCB Rhyme-scheme 4-4-2-4-4-2 Trochaic Verse!

Muhahahahahaha!!!!!

These rules are simple:

Six trochaic lines WITH THE LAST UNACCENTED SYLLABLE DROPPED:

Four trochees (TUM ta / TUM ta / TUM ta / TUM)
Four trochees
Two trochees (TUM ta / TUM)
Four trochees
Four trochees
Two trochees

AABCCB rhyme scheme:

Lines 1 and 2 rhyme
Lines 4 and 5 rhyme
Lines 3 and 6 rhyme

Remember to drop the last, unaccented syllables of each line!!


EXAMPLE:

"The Last Leaf" - Oliver Wendell Holmes

And if I should live to be
The last leaf upon the tree
In the spring,
Let them laugh, as I do now
At the old, foresaken bough
When I cling

EASY, RIGHT? Yes, of course, and with SO MANY possibilities. Humor me!


Here's another example with the accents emphasized:

This is Hayakujo's Hell
Knew he did t'would come, and well
Let's be frank
Smarty's sick in his pursuits
Monkeys scowl yet bear them fruits
on zefrank

(farkin' piece o' cake!!)
---------------


I do not expect, dear friends
