Love Sings

Love sings the most beautiful melodies Lyrical tunes which enhance the bliss, Magical, lilting tunes underlie the kiss Ah, the sweetness of these memories. I remember hearing these lovely songs Love sings the most beautiful melodies, Even those which were pouty parodies Which could smooth over any wrongs. Lingering all day long inside my head My brain persists in singing with ease, Love sings the most beautiful melodies After she died my singing heart bled. Faintly I hear these musical symphonies Years later the tunes persisting still Give me wonderful feelings, even a chill, Love sings the most beautiful melodies. written March 10, 2022 [quatern with ABBA rhyming]

I've played with ABAB vs ABBA on the quatrain, but hadn't really thought about the fact that it makes perfect sense here too. So many variations! Nice.

Indeed. In fact, the ABBA seems to help me along with the Quatern. I have even written quatrains with ABCC, although I'm not sure that's exactly acceptable, sometimes it works out very well.
