Example Couplet:
Choosing The Road of Life
As we travel over
different roads 9
Each deciphering our own
code 8
I believe we will reach an
end 8
Each of us with our secret
blend 8
Every piece of our life
has meaning 9
Some of us have done more
leaning 8
Others become one to lean
on 8
Every one of us would be
strong 8
Else the world will fall
like dominoes 9
like feet that tip without
their toes 8
Reach the road that’s
right for you 7
Not what others say to do
7
Become the sun with light
and power 9
still dependent like the
flower 8
We travel over different
roads 8
each deciphering our own
code 8
