Quatrains Poems

QUATRAINS OF THOUGHT

What is the meaning of life?
Is it husband and a wife?
Partnership based on romance
By some chance or circumstance?

Why is it that we are here...
Wandering in atmosphere?
Is our purpose more than this?
Does bliss lie within its kiss?

When did time start to tick tock?
Why does universal clock
Change the further into space
Rockets chase it in their pace?

Can infinity

Summer Quatrains

Silk ribbons of ice melt into wellsprings
With jubilant serenades, heartfelt,
Frozen heartbeats freed from rime flow on wings
Into wellsprings silk ribbons of ice melt.

The brooding nimbus bows to solstice’ clouds
Dandelion days doze in clover now
As the Dayspring moon chants reveries out loud
To solstice’ clouds the brooding nimbus bows.

The rumpled season

Epic Quatrains

 1 
  Earth, Air, Fire, Water I'm Alive
  Blood, Sweat, Perseverance, I Thrive
  To the Sun, Moon, and Stars I Rise
  I Reach, I Breach, In Sync, Divine

 2
  Thrice in Spirit, Brawn, Steel, Sovereignty
  Consciously, Spiritually, Prophecy
  Forged like The Potters Clay,
  Narrow, Divine, Through

Exsanguinating Leeches

Exsanguinating leeches
Rich cream on ripened peaches,
Or Riviera beaches,
tickling the ears it reaches

Exsanguination is to bleed
A practice we no longer need
Now, Coumadin can quickly speed 
The death of rats, poison indeed!

Like Sisyphus, his rocky hill
Now Eliquis, without the thrill
For those with fibrillations still
‘Tis clots, not rocks, the bitter pill

So now I think to bleed a leech
Might

From a Dream, Three Quatrains Gifted

From A Dream, Three Quatrains Gifted


The Searching

I went forth into the windy forest
Through thistles, thorns and falling day
Crossing umber meadows and flowing stream
Forever seeking that which hath fled away.


The Flying

I went forth into midnight sleeping
From spinning cloud to cloud I fled
Far below, slow breeze comforted Fate
Whilst I slept alone in my bed.


The Denying

I went forth

Rebooted Nostradamus Quatrains: Century I

Quatrain 1
Sitting alone at nadir in serpentine sloth;
it is placed on the breeding typo.
A slight failure comes out of the emptiness and makes
successful that which should not be believed in the rain.

Quatrain 2
The worm in the head is placed in the mind of the typo's lunacy.
With weirdness he sprinkles both the hemp of his gesture

Random Quatrains

Some folks say I am quite good with words, 
But, I hesitate to believe what they say 
Should I have hired on with Merriam-Webster? 
Or better still, taken a job with Roget? 

People who do not particularly like me 
Have said that I am quite arrogant, 
But the truth is, I would rather think, 
That

Quatrains With No Rhimes

Cement word by word
    I connect one idea to another idea
    scribble verse with verse
    I build a bridge poem ...

    I caress my spirit
    with words of honey
    so poetry always
    licks me

Quatrains of Hibernal 2020
By David J Walker
I
The hibernal task of passing a year of Retributions
Scribes of the Anno Mundi  write in prose of those who are left behind
Those who did not believe the mask and the lambs' blood
Were one and the same
II
The solution was said to be written on a paper ballot

Cassandra's Quatrains For a Young Man

Whenever I see a young man
Proudly made of steel
I wonder at the young woman
Sure to make him kneel

Wherever I hear a young man
Loudly praise his great deal
I ponder if a young woman
Might make much of his meal

Whatever a young man 
Gladly claims to bear his seal
I tender that a young woman, 
Somehow, had made him

Quatrains For Cupani

One day out in the country I was led
by an old pathway to a hidden place
with honeyed scent from a wild garden bed
where ruffled blooms reached toward the sky with grace.

My spirit lifted too from sheer delight.
Dew glistened on each sweet pea’s pretty head.
How beautiful that scene in sun so bright -
green grass and blossoms

Rain Quatrains In Four Movements

I
The winds were loudly whistling,
Blowing the trees’ leaves all around;
God sneezed and misty rain fell to the ground;
In an instant, blades of green grass began to glisten.

Three French Quatrains Translation of Etiemble S Trois Quatrains Francais By T Wignesan

Three French quatrains, Translation of Etiemble’s Trois quatrains français  by T. Wignesan

Fly …fly !

For Sylvie (Etiemble) on the occasion
of commencing primary school

All cats are school-goers
watching a fly fly
but the teacher caught the fly:
one should seize the collar.

						October 1978

For Sylvie who came late to the mirror stage,
but who has since made up for it… (1981)

Apologia - Swap Quatrains

To me, verbal Apology is only inflated pride
The good people don’t call for apologies to deride
Bad people  for base vantage may go on their knees
Verbal apology is only inflated pride, to me.

Torment none, repent for past and dread for future
If you think you've erred, make the amends sooner
It is easier to eat crow while
