*Definition of damper:
noun: a depressing restraint

Three words were given, to be used as line ending words, in a specific pattern, and all three words used in the last line of the poem. I don't remember the name of the form.

Do you recall that hut beside the shore? It shook at dawn, to rhythm toss of waves. We lolled in cycle round of driven love, so young and pure of heart, we teased in love without a clue of caution sign on shore. We failed to see how angry rose the waves, reposed inside till swept to sea in waves. Beset by fear without one thought of love, we prayed the wind propel us back to shore. Love's ardor drowns if shore's awash in waves.
