After reading 50 of these 4-lined poems I noticed that the first, second, and fourth lines rhymed with each other while the 3rd line did not. I did not understand this method but I suppose all poems have their own method of how they are constructed. It seemed to me that most of the poems that I read were about love and or celebration of some sort.
I decided to take my own spin on these poems and created four of my own:
Like the lyrics to my favorite song
I would sing for her at sun up and all nightlong
Her lips so soft, her kiss so pure
The girl of my dreams—she’s been here all along
Lace up your skates and jump on the ice
Watch out for the stick it’s their scoring device
Keep your head in the game and don’t commit too early
Cause if so they’ll put it top shelf—make you pay the price
She’s playing these games-messing with my head
When did you turn our light from green to red?
Making me crazy I’ll try to keep hope alive
She’s not worth it I found another girl instead
These college days are winding down but not just yet
I have a plan after school-- my life stage is set
The years have past within the blink of an eye
But as for the memories and friends—those I will never forget

I like that last one. Definately seems like it really flies by.
The first ever Rubaiyat verse about hockey!! I think your love verses capture the spirit of the original...
After reading quite a few of peoples attempts, I keep finding that yours about hockey is the most memorable. Cool idea, and great work.
