The Rubaiyat Format....(2) Poem by Sylvia Frances Chan

1.I've seen and read your passport,
you look very healthy and you've done good sport
but that's fake,
in fact you are very sick, you know that, young lord

2.your eyes radiate health,
in fact you are a wreck with much wealth
come lad, pray to God, as you can
for health on your plate from green vegetables health

3. eat not too much sweet,
now you're in diry need
please live God's way,
during this ephemeral life speed,

4. no arguing, just easefulness
about your earthly stay, be then blessed in welness
peace be with you, dear young lad
peace in your heart, mind full of forgivenness

5. I have uttered all these wise words
that doesn't mean no any hurts
I do realize at the fullest
my mind that now bursts….


This poem is in Rubaiyat format, AABA end rhymes.
