Use any rhyming form to compose a poem on lost and found.
I decided to search the many types of rhymes there are and found this website which said there are 10 specific types of rhyming poems. https://www.masterclass.com/articles/what-is-a-rhyme-scheme-learn-about-10-different-poetry-rhyme-schemes#5zKAExeNF6ogsKfcFsyY1y
I decided on the Terza rima. An Italian form of poetry that consists of tercets, a terza rima follows a chain rhyme in which the second line of each stanza rhymes with the first and last line of the subsequent stanza. It ends with a couplet rhyming with the middle line of the penultimate stanza. The pattern is ABA BCB CDC DED EE.

Fear of Lost Things

Of all the things lost I never have found
There are many things I don’t even know
The location and details keeping me bound

Sometimes its jewelry or some other knick knack
And other times just some old paper and ink
No matter the object, it may never come back

The time that I’ve spent is horribly long
Time that I’ll never get back
Was searching so much really wrong?

Remember the times you found what you lost
And how happy you felt with it near
No matter the value, the size or the cost

I hold onto my things I consider real dear
For to lose any one of them, I live with that fear
