Experimenting with Rhyme and Form

(Picture by me...)
Let your poetic muses explore!

I don't really know what form of poetry this is; if it is one. I would like you to write a poem with three groups of five lines, with a rhyme scheme of "ababc,dedec,fgfgc". The topic is up to you, unless you want to use the picture for inspiration because you have problems with indecisiveness... PLEASE KEEP IT CLEAN!!!! (NO erotica, cutting, swearing, suicide, etc.) I don't see how any of you could have a prewrite that works with this, so don't enter one unless it fits ALL the criteria!

Rules:
-try something new
-have fun
