Best Quaternion Poems

Hush,is that a knock upon your door,
A guest,who is seeking more,
Someone,perhaps come to dine
A feast for two and then
Converse in fellowship divine

Fall has the middle wall,
In two,the veil is  torn
Emnity has no call-
With Him,our cornerstone
No longer,we....forlorn

Is Hades your sheol
Quietus staging post
A chasm to separate,
Paradise...

weed covers the pond-
a crested grebe
dives for treasure

a puffed up firecrest
alights upon
our smoke tree

a dawn delicacy-
the mistlethrush's
everyday grub

out of the nest-
the fledgling hopes
mother finds a worm...

He will give you love, peace, and hope.
He will help you to be very strong
When everything for you go wrong.

When you fight and struggle all in vain
He will comfort and take away your...

All
change
evolves-
as taboos
become convention

As
art
nouveau
brings anguish,
then bewilderment
conceives a new understanding

When
a
doodle
or gesture
becomes surreal

New
forms
mix old
rhythms in
novelle images...

the country stile
hedges an old  meadow
I sit awhile

out of the blue
the honey bee
sings with delight

nearby in sunshine
a blackberry blossoms
winter's summer pudding

in the silence
my  thoughts plod the path
of yesteryear...

crucial
heart of the matter...

An
empty
widow's bench-
sorrow fills its
place

Tall
nettles-
the Dutch hoe
rusting in the
shed

There
he sits
sorrowing-
weeping over
life

His
window 
on the world-
her epitaph
read

a lanterne is a half 
American cinquain...

snowfall in the dell-
             spring blossom dies

sunshine on my face-

the tangle of Autumn-
