Best Swap Quatrain Poems

I will not read another one
These words that have my heart undone
Each message makes my heart to bleed
Another one, I will not read

The love you swore would prove untrue
Yet heart and soul I gave to you
An untold pain, my heart, it bore
Would prove untrue, the...

Ten doggone years I've sawed your trees.
I quit. I'll saw my own darn z's.
I'm done with blood and sweat and tears;
I've sawed your trees ten doggone years.

Right out that door I'm marching on.
No use to look, 'cause I'll be gone.
I'm done with aches and blisters,...

He stole many hearts, for long time 
In "Dirty Dancing" have a good time. 
With "North 'n South" I couldn't part. 
For long time, he stole many hearts. 

We watched him, dancing and fighting 
He was a great...

Sun is shining, all is well
Lovely summer they foretell
Found winter clothes so restraining
All is well, sun is shining.

Fields of rapeseed, like molten gold
Enjoyed by children freedom untold
Run in the shade amongst the sheaths
Like molten gold, fields of rapeseeds

Let's have a picnic, we're hungry 
So much...

They play in the morning sun
late Fall snow it has begun,
through the cold the branches sway
in the morning sun, they play.

Chickadees play all day through
'neath the morning sky so blue,
have a good time come what may
all day through, chickadees play.

Like summer breeze with sweet caress
 Her beauty does  indeed impress
  And   her dulcet perfume does tease
With sweet caress like summer breeze

In the moonlight my heart flutters
"I love you" is what I utter
Her perfume fills me with delight
My heart flutters in...

I saw the light there in your eyes
Love clearly seen without disguise
And banished was my soul’s dark night
There in your eyes, I saw the light

I felt the flame there in your kiss
A burning taste that filled with bliss
On searing heart, you staked your claim
There in...

He was the hardest working man
Show business was his divine plan
Sang, danced, smiled with a buzz
The hardest working man he was

He twisted and turned with a split
Even made it into a dance skit
As the bottom of his shoes burned
With a split he twisted and turned

“Get...

In the end it is I who will pay
For the things I do and words I say
The road ahead is full of bends
It is I who will pay in the end

In every bend there is a fork
When I stutter I feel like a dork
There is...

Inside the chamber of one's heart, there's at least a pint of goodness,
So do not hesitate to show someone some brave acts of kindness,
Whether life for one is so tough that it could break his faith apart, 
There's at least a pint of goodness inside...

This is written for my love
The one that I hold above
Precious as a newborn kitten
For my love this is written

We make a perfect team
As we live out our dream
Nothing left to forsake
A perfect team we make

I am blessed to have you
Our love strong and true
Your...

By your skin's pigment, I've never judged you,
but by your character I see you through.
Your deep concerns are only a figment;
I've never judged you by your skin's pigment.

We are all descendants from Adam's side,
and we'll continue to be multiplied,
so let brotherly love take transcendence.
From Adam's...

Troubled Times

In troubled times, I have the sea
It's soothing sounds bring peace to me.
An ocean breeze,salty climes
I have the sea in troubled times.

Gulls swoop and dive, we wouldn't dare
unless a safety net was there.
We fish safely, to stay alive.
We wouldn't dare, gulls swoop and dive.

I've...
