One More Year of We
One more year of "where's my keys?",
of "taste this," and "come see" —
one more year I'd trade for nothing:
one more year of we.

How this poem works
Measured from the text on this page, not copied from a summary. Counts are approximate: syllables and rhymes come from the CMU Pronouncing Dictionary, which models General American English, so dialect, older pronunciation, and performance can all change what you hear.
- Shape
- 4 lines · one 4-line stanza
- End rhyme
- ABCB — ballad rhyme — only lines 2 and 4 chime.
- Line length
- Lines run 5-8 syllables (median 8), consistent with tetrameter. No single length dominates, which is normal once elision and contraction are in play.
