Swap Quatrain
Created by Lorraine M. Kanter. Within the Swap Quatrain each stanza in the poem must be a quatrain (four lines) where the first line is reversed in the fourth line. In addition, line 2 must rhyme with line 1, and line 3 must rhyme with line 4 and so on, BUT not repeat the same rhyming pattern on subsequent stanzas. Rhyming pattern: AABB, CCDD, and so on.
You begin to cry as you watch him go,
for you never thought he’d ever do so.
And you’re still struggling to understand why,
as you watch him go, you begin to cry.
You feel your heart break the moment he leaves,
love’s not enough when only one believes.
The joy in your heart morphs into an ache,
the moment he leaves, you feel your heart break.
Tears start to fall when he walks out the door,
saying he doesn’t feel the same as before.
And because you’re scared that he’ll never call,
when he walks out the door, tears start to fall.
There is no hope when all you feel is pain,
afraid that you’ll never see him again.
And you’ve no idea if you can cope,
when all you feel is pain; there is no hope.
