I used Robert Frost's "Nothing Gold Can Stay" as my model poem to use each line's first letter and the syllable count.
Never am I winter,
half of me bare branches
half of me deepest roots in frost.
Don’t pity my bark or buds,
they fold in on themselves,
stay tight with my warm trunk.
Spring takes its time to come,
name me first, I blossom.
