Laying

on her back in chains.

She’s held in his reigns,

body strains,

as they are lovingly playing.

Author's Notes/Comments: 


A Beech - a form of poetry created by poet Beecher Smith.
It is a 5 line poem with the syllables of each line corresponding to the number of the
letter of the alphabet.


B= 2 so your first line must have 2 syllables

E= 5 therefore the next two lines have 5 syllables,

E= (5 again)

C= 3 so three syllables

H= 8th letter, so the last line has 8 syllables.


** The first and fifth lines must rhyme. The middle three lines must also rhyme.
The title of the poem can convey further meaning.
