Charles Messina Poet Monorhyme

Of Tasteful Trait

I speak the words...of tasteful trait 
For you, my friends...to get it straight 
To etch upon...my stone or slate 
These words I always...try to state 
"Thou shall love...and thou shall not hate" 
Be' eth engraved...on heaven's gate 
My love, to all...I shall donate 
From now, until...my dying date 

(8 lines/ 8 syllables)
