Quatern
A Quatern is a sixteen line French form composed of four quatrains. It has a refrain that is in a different place in each quatrain. The first line of stanza one is the second line of stanza two third line of stanza three and fourth line of stanza four. A quatern has eight syllables per line. It does not have to be iambic or follow a set rhyme scheme. line 1 line 2 line 3 line 4 line 5 line 6 (line 1) line 7 line 8 line 9 line 10 line 11 (line 1) line 12 line 13 line 14 line 15 line 16 (line 1)
As the audience falls silent,
the lights dim; the curtain gets drawn.
And a magical night begins,
launched upon a sea of whispers.
Fantasy folds reality
as the audience falls silent.
And imagination takes hold,
overpowering all reason.
Music and motion in tandem
give sway to possibilities.
As the audience falls silent
and deeper down the rabbit hole.
Illusion leads to amazement
unfettered by doubt's disbelief.
And alternate truths improvise
as the audience falls silent.
(Quatern)
