Dizain
A dizain is a type of poem that follows a prescribed format of syllables per line while adhering to a certain rhyme scheme. A dizain should be comprised of a single 10-line stanza which includes 10 syllables in every line and is written in accordance with this rhyme scheme: ababbccdcd.

I'm scared of how the future may unfold, everything's changing; many are alone. I don't want to believe all I've been told, but fueled by the news, my fears have grown. I rely upon my TV and phone to keep me safe and informed with the truth. And yet, schools pose a danger to our youth, because some kids can't or won't wear a mask. And large parties still attract the uncouth, as if saving lives is too much to ask. (Dizain) 09-13-2020
