Until recently I never heard of this form. I found it in the book of Cookie ~ contemplatingareturn  It intrigued me and a search learned me that the developer is Michael Walker.-The Monotetra's stanza has a mono rhyme scheme in each stanza. -It has four lines per stanza, eight syllables per line. -In the last line, four syllables are repeated, as if in an echo, to make it look like a little refrain. -The monotetra can be as long as you like, but has to have at least two stanzas. -The name of this form is coming from the fact that the stanzas are mono-rhymed and written in tetrameter. Notice that each stanza can have a different rhyme, but all four lines within each stanza must rhyme. My try: Lonely bird in a solo flight Lands on a branch, as morning light Chases away darkness of night Beautiful sight, beautiful sight! Bird, take along my thoughts with thee Bring them to my lover, for me My heart belongs to him, and he Just lets me be...just lets me be You touched my heart, and I will go I'll fly through rain, I'll fly through snow Give me a sign that I can show Your words must glow, your words must glow I'll give this ring for him to see Then hope he brings it home to me I love him, mine he has to be Eternally, eternally......
