Blushed cheeks can’t lie, heartbeat races.
Just a second, just your faint smell,
enthralled moment, frozen minutes.
Though you’ll hold her, instead of me.

K is for Kasa.
The Kasa, (song-words) the elements are:
-
syllabic, 7-syllable lines broken by caesura into alternating groups of 3 and 4 syllables or 8 syllable lines broken by caesura into equal 4 syllable phrases.
-
strophic which can vary in number of lines.
-
tends to describe or expose through parallels.
-
written from unrequited love, patriotism, daily life, nostalgia, etc.

I have all too often been in the position of the protagonist in this poem. Being neither pretty nor outgoing, my tendency is to be the wallflower.
