L Milton Hankins Poet Quatern

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.

Jeff Kyser March 10, 2022 at 8:23 PM 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. L Milton Hankins March 10, 2022 at 9:38 PM 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.
