Student example:
His Trap
The winter coldness grabbed
Me, as I lock myself in the house.
Piercing through walls the cold stabbed
Me, as I hide in a corner like a mouse.
Why love brought me to this town,
I could've had a warmer peach,
Like a princess in a crown,
Having dates on a shelled beach.
How I love a cold glass of wine,
But suddenly I hear a door rap.
He’s here, I refused to go on a dine,
I knew him before to fall for his trap.
That day he fired the gun on a boat,
Deafen my right ear the entire night.
Engine stopped and we had no float,
Fixing the filter under the moon light.
The place is cold over the river,
We had no cover, we started to shiver.
