The child was getting tired of being teased
Words flowed from her brother's mouth unfiltered
Had he more vocabulary he'd spew.
She didn't care on that morning if she pleased
She went to the icebox unbewildered

We all stood in shock, except her brother
Drenched to the degree of being drowned, whew!
But equal to his cruel out of kilter
words. He's thinking there's ways other to
stir stew
Here in the south sometimes we say of a person that they are stirrer of trouble and we used some different terminology(vocabulary) sometimes.
I used icebox instead because refrigerator would not fit, so going back to my youth when some people still had an icebox.
My understanding of this form is 11 lines. Ten syllables per line except for the 6th line and the 11th line which are suppose to be two one syllable words or a one two syllable word which both syllables are pronounced equally. Really don't understand stressed and unstressed. LOL
Rhyme scheme is : a,b,c,a,b,c d,c,b,d,c
They be thinking you’re a prospect
A proverbial perv ready to pounce.
Assuming they can guess your character
By the countless tales of counterfeit.

You’re a damn unicorn who needn’t be judged or undermined.
You’re more than the words of a phallacy..
Whoops I believe I meant fallacy.
See! There you go again!
So I guess the rumors were true,
And I guess since I wrote it…it must be real too.
