Be Grateful

Right now, are you feeling unsatisfied
with whatever you have in possessions?
Always feel stressed, some sort of depression
for not having what's desired, to be pride.

Feel of insufficiency kills inside
pushes hard jealousy, raze, obsession
makes one tired hankering for possession.
Evil thoughts initiates to misguide.

Have you noticed, what you have owned till now.
You feel upset, but others would envy.
Many can't think to acquire those somehow
in their lifetime; rein your greed -so deadly.

Don't know, what the future holds anyhow;
We've this moment, to enjoy be ready.

Love ‘now’ moment quietly ;
Never be ungrateful towards the life
appreciate each small aspect, no strife.

A caudate sonnet is an expanded version of the sonnet.
It consists of 14 lines in standard sonnet forms followed by a coda.
(Latin cauda meaning "tail", from which the name is derived).

The Caudate Sonnet, sometimes called a Tailed Sonnet, is an extended sonnet with a coda or tail added at the end.

It was first attributed to the Italian poet Francesco Berni (1497-1536).
This sonnet verse form is often used for satire.

The defining features of the Caudate Sonnet are:
- Strophic, a Petrarchan Sonnet, followed by a 1/2 line and a heroic couplet, this may also be followed by additional "tails".
The tail and couplet are akin to the Bob and Wheel.
-The poem can be from 17 to 24 lines.
- Metric, the sonnet portion is iambic pentameter.
- The tail line is iambic trimeter and the subsequent couplets are iambic pentameter.
- Rhymed, abbaabbacdcdcd dee.
