A New Style

You can be the proud owner of all my points.

I want you to write a piece, with a very fixed structure.

The first stanza must have four lines, with each line rhyming (in the form AAAA) and must begin with the same word.

The second stanza must have three lines, in the form BBB, and again must begin with the same word, but different to the first stanza.

The third stanza is the same, in that it is CC, and has each line beginning with the same word, though different from the above stanzas.

The fourth stanza must be one line, and must be a metaphor, not a simile.
eg metaphor: the sky is a sapphire
eg simile: the sky is like a sapphire

Good luck, because there will only be one winner.

Rules:
1. You must follow the structure.
2. No TyPiNg like that.
3. Spelling, grammar and punctuation must be perfect.
4. Erotica and swearing is fine.
5. No hatemail if I DQ you.
Break any of the rules, and you will be DQd instantly.

I want the gold winner to hold a few contests to keep the points circulating.
