That Poemy-Feeling

When I "can't find the words to say" but can't stop myself from trying When it makes me think, smile, or pray or makes me feel like crying When so much beauty has me overwhelmed I must encapsulate that in verse Flowing naturally from my heart to convey rhymes which my lips rehearse ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Attn: Soupers: is this a known "type of poem"?: abab cdad

It is a lovely poem, Michelle. I believe it is a common rhyme scheme.

Thanks. :) Yeah there's a familiar ring to the rhyme scheme... does it have another "type" of poem title from the list, that you know of? I revised my pronouns to say "I" instead of "you"... originally, I was projecting "that poemy feeling" onto everyone, because I feel like all PoetrySoupers can relate... you get a similar kind of "poemy feeling" too? But I kept it as "I" because I know for sure that's how I feel when I'm suddenly struck with the idea to write a poem. But there could be more written on that.
