Speaks Volumes Poet Quatrain

Notes About The Poem

                          

                                   Swap Quatrain         27th August  2023

Colorful

Her slender little form adorned in smoky grey.
She was very quiet, never had much to say.
Friendly and sweet, her personality quite warm.
Adorned in smoky grey, her slender little form.

She was fairly shy, rather mousy I would say.
She had no friends though they worked with her all day.
Her one-word answers to their question made them sigh.
Rather mousy I would say, she was fairly shy.

No one really knew, she was quite the introvert.
Timid and so sensitive, she was susceptible to hurt.
Watching them so friendly, she wished for friends too.
She was quite the introvert, no one really knew.

The workday complete she would go home by train. 
She wouldn’t be home long, and she would go out again.
A new set of clothes, no grey from her head to her feet.
She would go home by train, the workday complete.

At the club she was well known, her clothes outrageous.
Dancing until morning, been doing this for ages.
Happiness and laughter, her excitement well shown.
Her clothes, outrageous, at the club she was well known. 

She just loved to be seen, she was so outgoing.
With the splendor of her colorful clothes, she was glowing.
Wearing colors of the rainbow, she was the Color Queen.
She was so outgoing, she just loved to be seen.

Silent One August 28, 2023 at 2:54 AM Great rhymes and flow to your poem dear poet...

Speaks Volumes August 28, 2023 at 5:09 AM I am humbled by such praise for this poem. Thank you so much. Your encouragement is really appreciated.

Valsa George August 27, 2023 at 8:28 PM You have accomplished a marvelous job. Writing a Swap Quatrain is not all that easy. But you have given life through this poetic form to a seemingly introvert girl who loved to wear colorful attire. I have no doubt this will be placed high ! Best of luck dear SV. Speaks Volumes August 28, 2023 at 5:15 AM I am concerned that I did not pay enough attention to the word colorful Valsa. However I did not want to flood the poem, I endeavored to intimate that the colorful clothes were what brought her confidence out. Not sure if I achieved that. As always dear friend, thank you for your uplifting comments.

The imagery you craft and the metaphors you employ are extraordinary. Best of luck in the contest! Speaks Volumes August 28, 2023 at 5:16 AM I have said it before SP, your comments are the wind beneath my wings, as I try to live up to the praise you offer. I am indebted. Thank you.

Love it, a difficult form, done well, perfect t contrast. I Am Anaya August 28, 2023 at 7:57 AM The picture is fabulous, with or without it, the poetry is brilliant! We girls can relate, I say nonfiction for most of us! Speaks Volumes August 27, 2023 at 6:34 PM Thanks lovely, seeing the Judge wont see the picture. I am not sure this one would be up with a chance but its fun writing ones like this. I don't have to write "fiction" do you think ?
