The Magic 9 poem form doesn't have any rules as far as meter or subject matter--just a rhyme scheme: abacadaba. Just remove the r's from "abracadabra," and boom! A new poetic form. ~Writer's Digest.

Liberty

a Magic 9 poem

Liberty is not an esoteric idea
hiding in a crevise and hard to find, 
no need for spelunking nor cursing pangaea~
Liberty is a God-given engram of creation,
not a simple panacea
given by men then taken away on a whim~
wrap me in chains if you must, my liberty remains above all stria,
floating on waves of the mind
and in winds of latria.
