It isn’t all that hard to write in verse
If by a “verse” we mean a meter’d line
If rhyme’s involved, the struggle’s slightly worse
But possible e’en so (just takes more time)

For each gold nugget, words rate less expense
A greater challenge yet may one attempt
By use of templates, paradoxic’ly;
To lift such structur’d verse above contempt
Negotiation with the form is key
A tip: Should spelling throw the meter off
Fear not! That’s why God made the apostroph’
