Day 144:

Nov 21- D.S. Teller states in the book “Fun with Poetry” that the Quatrain is another basic poetic form. Most song ballads use this 4 line form as phrases in their lyrics. It can be aaaa, aabb, abba, abab, abac, abbc, aabc, aaab, abbb, or an unrhymed abcd. Here’s an example.

A quatrain or two
Or three or some more
Can make a song true
What else is it for?
