A Quatern is a sixteen line French form composed of four quatrains. It is similar to the Kyrielle and the Retourne. 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.

True Love, Redefined

One day she hopes true love to find,
One soul, one mind, two hearts entwined;
Somewhere out there’s the perfect guy,
For Youth has set her standards high.

He must be rich, handsome, refined,
One day she hopes true love to find;
Yet no one seems to measure up
And disappointment fills her cup.

The years go by, her nights grow long,
Her aging voice sings sorrow’s song.
One day she hopes true love to find,
Her definition redefined;

Simply a plain and faithful friend
To see her to life’s journey’s end;
For though her face with age be lined,
One day she hopes true love to find.

The Seed Harvester


I set my hands into the Earth,
caressed the soil, for what it’s worth,
and in the furrows, I did plant
seeds of hope to grow where I can’t

see beyond the remains of hurt.
I set my hands into the Earth,
to see, perhaps, if love can grow
and bloom from what my hands did sow.

If flowers come, I’d believe then
a part of life came ‘round, again.
I set my hands into the Earth
for hope and faith to spring from dearth,

but if it is not meant for me
and someone else is sent to reap
my bounty bloomed from toil and dirt;
I set my hands into the Earth.

Friendship like ours, is truly deep,
thoughtout the years it’s sure to keep
it can't be broken, thou some have tried,
I have your back and you have mine

free from judgement, it's quite unique,
friendship like ours, is truly deep,
the special kind just like a team
We speak our minds, and dare to dream

soulmates and sisters we don’t compete,
When one is hurt  the other bleeds,
friendship like ours, is truly deep,
disloyal drama, we run from these,

blood In blood out, it is our creed,
We take our kidred seriously  
a special bond, it is indeed,
friendship like ours, is truly deep,

As always Madame,you never disappoint !
Good luck Malady!

Beautiful John, perfect!
Good Luck!

Tim, you really have some serious chops.. really enjoyed!
Good Luck!
