Work on writing in what's called iambic pentameter. There are ten syllables per line and syllables 2, 4, 6, 8, and 10 are pronounced a bit louder than the others. There are some videos among the search results above that will help you get this.

Additionally, since you need 8 stanzas and your writing about MARRIAGE, you might start each stanza with one of those letters. For example:

M....
....

A....
....

R....
....

R....
....

I....
....

(etc)

... and you're writing ...

yes thank you
