Ottava Rima

I've tried my best to create a poem that has eight lines written in iambic pentameter. Then I gave up.
The rhyme scheme is a-b-a-b-a-b-c-c. That was much easier to accomplish.

Clicking, clacking- metal connects with ground
8 counts to learn, the rhythm does repeat
Scraping, digging- heels and toes make sound
1 moment is needed to find the beat
Stepping, stomping- Broadway bound
2 tap shoes worn on talented feet
Dancing, moving- a love for the stage
3 shows a year until death of old age
