I’m fine, it’s fine, everything’s fine
don’t ask unless you want to know
I’m over it…won’t over-share
with busybodies who don’t care
a pleasant “fine” is all they’re owed
I’m over it…won’t over-share
don’t ask unless you want to know

The Biolet
The biolet was invented by the Brazilian poet Filinto de Almeida and first appeared in print in his book Lyrica in 1887. It is a six line poem where the first two lines are repeated as the last two lines, however in reverse. The rhyme scheme is ABbaBA (with the capital letters representing the repeated lines). Most of Almeida’s original biolets in Portuguese were in iambic tetrameter (8 syllables), but you could also try iambic pentameter (10 syllables), iambic hexameter (12 syllables), and unmetered lines of random lengths as well.

So relatable Kat. Don’t ask if you don’t want to know.
