An attempt to write a French Huitain
This is a Huitain. Simply, a Huitain (from the French for eight) is a poem with eight lines each of which must contain eight syllables. There are a few possible rhyme schemes for the Huitain. This one is "ababbcbc".

Mom says I must take a shower,
When I just took one yesterday.
But her voice carries such power:
Undress and stand beneath the spray.
Hot soapy water finds its way
down my bare back. Soon I must pout,
Because of what my Mom will say:
"You're clean enough. Time to get out!"
