Poetry Exercise 5

OK, first there's a quatrain in trochaic tetrameter. Then one in semi-docked trochaic tetrameter.
Next there's a double quatrain(?) of iambic tetrameter.
Lastly a double quatrain(?) of alternating iambic tetrameter and iambic trimeter.

1.
Samus, what fantastic stories -
Evil creatures you've been fighting.
Hail your long-remembered glories -
Even now they're down in writing!

Samus; righteous, agile clever -
You can save the universe.
Long may your name last forever -
Even now it's down in verse.


2.
How odd for my poetic themes
I seem to choose computer games
With Samus, girl who fills my dreams,
You know - the one of Metroid fame.

Can I not think of lofty stuff?
Can nothing else inspire at all?
I lost with her 'gainst Jigglypuff
The other day while playing Brawl.


3.
It's time to think of something else,
No Samus anymore.
The way she dominates my mind
Has made me such a bore.

No more her lithe and agile form
Shall in my mind take root.
Nor morph balls. Bombs. Nor weaponry.
Nor sexy power suit.
