This is the final poem of our poetry unit, and it's a doozy. I's called a villanelle, and the rule is that you have stanzas with 4 lines in them, and the 2nd and 4th line of one stanza becomes the 1st and 3rd lines of the next stanza, and it repeats like that forever. Then at the end you have to use your 1st and 3rd lines from the very first stanza as your 2nd and 4th lines of the last stanza. It's ridiculous. Which is why this poem isn't very good, and its extremely repetetive. Anyways here it is.
"Before You Know It"
Your time will be gone
before you know it.
Always remember:
live like you’re dying.
Before you know it
childhood ends, so
live like you’re dying
to try and stay young.
Childhood ends so
suddenly. You have
to try and stay young
the best you that you can.
Suddenly you have
so many problems to fix
the best that you can.
You aren’t a kid anymore.
So many problems to fix,
your time will be gone.
You aren’t a kid anymore.
Always remember.
