For Joseph May's Double The Swap Poetry Contest
The Double Swap Quatrain consists of a series of Quatrains where Lines 1 and 4 are swapped in each stanza, and where Line 3 of the preceding stanza is swapped to become Line 2 of the next stanza.
Still going strong, the Boomers are in golden years. They have come far. The new Gen X then came along. The Boomers are still going strong. Kids with latch keys, safer with sex, then came along the new Gen X. How they do thrive, like the Gen Z’s, Safer with sex, kids with latch keys. The great Gen Y, they sure have drive. Like the Gen Z’s, how they do thrive. It’s a new day. We watch time fly. They sure have drive, the great Gen Y. Now Alpha’s here. High tech are they. We watch time fly. It’s a new day. What possibly will next appear? High tech are they now Alpha’s here. #64 on Best New Poems List as of July 28,2026
