Wake Up, My Heart


Wake up, my heart, walk out the door,
Beauty is waiting there,
You need be lachrymose no more,
Look out and lose your care.

Wake up, my heart, let's sit and talk,
Don't be morose and frown,
We'll discuss poems round the clock,
And maybe pen some down.

Wake up, my heart, there's lot to do,
We've little time for sleep,
Wake up now, later we can't rue,
Come, let's take that faith leap.

See! This poems is close to perfect meter. What you've written here is known as hymn meter (close to tetra 4 - and tri 3) --The meter has nothing to do with syllables and everything to do with metric feet. Here you have done iambic tetrameter mixed with iambic trimeter 4,3,4,3, etc--pretty close.
