Impending Changes

**Quatern**A French form, four quatrain poem similar to the Kyrielle and the Retourne. The first line repeats, each stanza in different locations! I like it because the refrain adds depth and structure! Impending Changes Alluring, these pending changes Everything could fall into place This heart that has seen much patience Still, there are steps I need to take Achieve success, I can't rush fate! Alluring, these pending changes, Excitement slowing my heart rate. Test my theory with vacation! Paid time off gives motivation, Decided, once the weather breaks! Alluring, these pending changes Tired of normal, I want great! Stressed, searching for my happy place. Different, in vision. Ambitious! Lived to long in fear, my mistake, Alluring, these pending changes! Jared Pickett Asavvy1 2/10/2014

Your verse reminds me of some similar things I have written. I love the brevity; most of my pieces are short. I like short, sweet and to the point. Based on what I have read, I think you're a quite talented poet. I love good near rhymes and you seem to have a good sense of it, which isn't always easy. I'm going to peruse more of your work soon; I've enjoyed these two pieces I've read; kudos :)

Nicely done Jared. I like this poetic form, as well. It is a challenge but, when done well, is true poetic art. The repeated line helps ensure continuity and consistency in the verse. Good job.

I love it Jared! Well penned! Changes are inevitable and sometimes oh so overwhelming. 'Tired of normal, I want great!' - that line is fitting given the theme. It takes change to bring about great. Very well written! ps, I like how you've taken time to tell us about the form and why you love it. Nice!
