Example:

The wind does not ask permission,

it moves through alleys and across oceans,

shifting leaves and cities alike.

Example:

The morning sun ascends behind the hills,

and light spills slowly through the silent trees.

A breath of earth, still wet with evening's chill,

now stirs the fox from sleep beneath the pine.

Example (AABB rhyme scheme):

The sky grew dark as thunder shook the land,

the sea rose high and swallowed up the sand.

The lighthouse stood, defiant in the rain,

its beam a pulse against the storm's refrain.

Example:

I walked along the shore at break of day.

(da-DUM da-DUM da-DUM da-DUM da-DUM)
