Abstract Art

Folder: 
2009 Poetry



Abstract art, I don’t understand,

painted on canvas with the hand.

Maybe I’m not all that smart,

I don’t understand abstract art.



Eyeballs here, noses there,

God knows what they do with hair.

I think it extremely queer,

Noses there, eyeballs here.



I will stick with normal styles,

putting on the faces, happy smiles.

Maybe I’m just to damn thick,

with normal styles I will stick.

Swap Quatrain


The Swap Quatrain was created by Lorraine M. Kanter.


Within the Swap Quatrain each stanza in the poem must be a quatrain (four lines) where the first line is reversed in the fourth line. In ddition, line 2 must rhyme with line 1, and line 3 must rhyme with line 4 and so on, BUT not repeat the same rhyming pattern on subsequent stanzas.


Rhyming pattern: AABB, CCDD, and so on.
