FLYING

a Virelai, which is a French form, only two rhymes, aab - and syllable rules: 5-5-2. 

all men wish to fly

some even will try

caped ploys

 

adulthood draws nigh

jets rocketing by

such noise

 

on altitudes high

where others would fry

envoys

 

like fourth of July

they light up the sky

turquoise

 

but rules must apply

soar safe with a sigh

no joys

 

these men can untie

earth gravity’s lie

flyboys.
