Love Cuarteto
Love Cuarteto


When I first saw you, I knew you were the one
You came to me in a dark corner of life.
From the start, I knew we would have lots of fun.
Then you smiled, saying you would soon be my wife.


The Cuarteto is an Argentine form of quatrain (four-line stanza) with eleven syllables per line and rhyme schemes of either abab or abba, as described and demonstrated in the following link: https://poetscollective.org/poetryforms/cuarteto/ .


Down south in romantic Argentina’s sway,
the emerald carpet of tall pampas grass
beside reflective, smooth, sapphire water’s glass,
is playground for macho gauchos on display.
