You are a poem; your stanzas are your life: A prologue written in the long ago (with some few emendations here and there)                   (ahem!) A closure and an afterword await                 But now about this part of your life: The iambs of your footfalls dance in time While                anapests                            leap in search                                                    of a rhyme Stiff-built trochees stumble clunkily (ouch) And alexandrines mourn the sometime sorrows of age And when writing your poem, remember… Your poetry of life will be truly true If you almost never write about                                                      you

Shape-dependent, but the program moves almost everything where it is not meant to be - like six-year-olds, I suppose - but, well, there it is.
