__________________
This is an example of a "pattern poem" form I'll call "square dance".

It is read clockwise from the upper left corner:

why be a square
exude some flair
return to the tao
others will bow

As verse versus the square dance pattern: The last letter of one line is the first letter of the next. (The last letter of the last line is the first letter of the first.)
