DEVINE

The devine contains 2 stanzas, 4 lines each, in iambic meter.  The syllable count per line is 10, 8, 6, 4, 10, 8, 6, 4.  The rhyme scheme is abcd-abcd.

Here's a sample, again from Ms. Sowell's book Poetry Patterns A-Z. 

I Think of You

I think of you when early morning sun
begins to spread its rosy hue.
As long as we're apart
my heart will yearn.

I think of you whenever day is done
and moonbeams bathe the world in blue.
I'll keep you in my heart
till you return.
