Just a warning about seeking a dragon's hoard of gold. They are very protective of it. You might get burned.

This poem is a Vers Beaucoup.
The Vers Beaucoup, a poem form created by Curt Mongold, is derived from French for "many rhymes". It is aptly named, as each line contains three rhymes. Each stanza consists of four lines. So there are twelve rhymes per stanza. It has unique interlinking scheme as follows:

Line 1: a-a-a-
Line 2: a-b-b-
Line 3: b-c-c-
Line 4: c-d-d

Each line can only use a MAXIMUM of three rhyming words. You may have as many stanzas as you wish. The second line of a verse has a fourth "a" rhyme carried over from the first line, which causes enjambment and creates a strong internal rhyming structure. The poem does not require a specific meter. So for this poem, I chose three stanzas. Here is the entire rhyme scheme,

Stanza 1
a-a-a
a-b-b
b-c-c
c-d-d

Stanza 2:
e-e-e
e-f-f
f-g-g
g-h-h

Stanza 3
i-i-i
i-j-j
j-k-k
k-l-l
