A Girl I Met

This was another that I made at the creative writing competition at Antaragni '11( IIT Kanpur). Though it was only an eight lined poem, it was a really demanding one as it was to be drafted based on certain parameters. 

•   The rhyme scheme was to be ABaAabAB, that is, the first, fourth and seventh line of the poem have to rhyme and similarly for the second and the last line.
•  The poem was based on ASTASIAS, i.e. the first line starts with A, the next with S, then with T and so on

                                      A girl I met, couldn’t help but stare

                              Sober though she dressed, looked very divine

                              The rose red cheeks, on a face milk white

                              And all I could do, was wish we were a pair

                                She noticed me gazing with all my might

                                I saw her smile back; and couldn’t resist

                              Asked her for company, pulled her a chair,

                         She was what I wanted and it was my time to shine
