A Quatern by HGarvey Daniel Esquire ( My First ) Growing old together with YOU Watching Sunrises and Sunsets Holding hands, enjoying the view Memories one never forgets Serenity, Tranquility Growing old together with YOU At peace through all Eternity Forever, I’ll only Love YOU You give me Love I never knew You created a dream, come True Growing old together with YOU A Love Forever, Always True Our Hearts beat together, entwine Our Happiness, well over do The Wonderful thought in my mind Growing Old Together With YOU The Quatern is a Quatrain that may or may not rhyme has an eight syllable per line count The quirk of this form of POETRY is repitition of the first line of the poem moving down a line in each stanza so the first line is also the last My problem was having the repititive line fit in and have the next stanza make sense I would recommend that beginners and novice POETS could practice this form to improve their perspective of POETRY I do believe I will try other new to me Forms Always...HG Dedicated to BARBARA JEAN
