Answer 1

(Eight Lines Poem, using the abab, cdcd rhyme scheme)

The eyes of the lady

were not pearls but rock,

cold, damp, as in a shady

day, leaving one in shock.

The chairs were arranged

previously, without my consent.

I still remember her deranged

eyes, her pupils, her resent.

Answer 2

Times flew (a)

but not without any unwanted trip. (b)

I was given a new chance (c)

when they came along. (d)

Leading to a life of music and dance, (c)
