[“The Trixie Bee” Poetry Format by Caren Krutsinger: First stanza: 9a, 9a, 4b, 4b
Second stanza:  8c, 8c, 5d, 5d; Third stanza¨8e, 9e, 9f, 8f]

Several times I heard her knocking, A noise I first found very shocking Still it lingered, ‘Til I fingered Her coral broach around my neck, Thought I would be a total wreck It gave me solace, A renewed promise When I set about making rhymes I knew she was very near these times, And seeking my loving attention This I must not fail to mention.

I believe that's true, Virginia, and it can happen; but, this was a fiction write that worked well with the format.
