A Kiss Under the Mistletoe

A kiss under the mistletoe Something that I have never felt Not much, I’d be ready to go But the cards have not been dealt I can imagine the moment A kiss under the mistletoe Would the feeling be permanent Would the entire world then glow So many things I still don’t know Searching my head and heart each day A kiss under the mistletoe With the chance I wouldn’t delay No coal eyes, scarf, or a top hat Maybe there isn’t enough snow I can still do better than that A kiss under the mistletoe Penned 12/12/13

aha, now I am seeing my comments and I saw how you had found my latest post. It's good to see one of your poems again, Wayland. It looks like you have been busy writing too. I have done a few quaterns in my time. They are such fun. Love how you did your mistletoe kiss topic in this form!

Nope the final leap was to die and see what comes next! ;) They became a vampire instead. There's a form which does this hmmm [move the line 1 down everytime] BRB Light & Love

Yeah it's the form I'm using here the Quatern. It's 8 syllables per line, and repeats the first line in first stanza, as second line in second, third in third, and last in last. Four stanzas, I would say quatrains, but no rhyme is required, although I like to rhyme abab throughout.

I like how you injected the line in each stanza. Good Luck in the contest.

It's actually the form, The quatern has that repetition pattern, I just highlighted each one so that someone would see what I meant about the form. Thank you for visiting and thanks for the comment.
