Question:

What is the best 12 line poem?


Best Answer - Chosen by Asker:

A good twelve line poem could be three stanzas in quatrain form. Quatrains have four lines each and follow a ABAB rhyme scheme. Poems that are used in this format usually have a pretty good rhythm. Here's an example:
He did not understand
So all he did was stare
Telling her repeatedly
That he really did not care

Notice how the words at the end rhyme. In fact, this quatrain has only a ABCB pattern. The stanza after that one does not rhyme with line A or C.
