Qarinage
Created by Gregory R Barden - at least three verses of the following rhyme scheme, ABBACCDD + refrain, (the refrain repeats after every verse), with syllable counts of 10,5,5,10,5,5,11,11 + 6, (6 is the refrain), and the LAST verse must have an extra line of rhyme (D, 11 syllables), and an extra line of refrain, (6 syllables), that is different but rhymes. 

       

I felt so sad watching her fall apart though I wasn't spying I caught her crying, and I felt a pain deep within my heart. Flowing from her eyes, her tears mesmerize. A weeping angel, she took my breath away, and I struggle to find the right words to say and my heart starts to pound. I had never felt this way before now, I knew naught of love or angels above. Yet I felt our souls were once linked, somehow, and I just knew she felt the same in me. Compassion and hope both encourage me to inquire of her, what the matter might be, and my heart starts to pound. She noticed me, so I sat for a while. Outside of a dream, not even ice cream could possibly be sweeter than her smile. As she spoke with me I stared at my knee and asked if she felt the same I felt for her, and she said yes, she was happy to concur. We kiss, and reality begins to blur, and my heart starts to pound blocking out every sound.
