Lyrics are a poor man’s Tetris

Every so often I try to write
A song that fits together
I concentrate hard on form and rhyme
But always ignore the structure

So then I’m left with a literary muddle
That neither looks or sounds delightful
Perhaps it’s not the text; but the context
That makes a song insightful

With this in mind
I have chosen to design
A verse shaped like a pyramid
Longer and longer shall each line get
Up until I have had my fill of it
Then; they start to contract
Each line plays its part
It seems I’m very
Good at this
And here
We see
Great
Art
