The day I met you,
'Twas not a regular one,
Such days are so few,
It was a special day.
'Twas not a regular one,
That day was new,
Sweeter I saw none,
For I had seen you.
Such days are so few,
Happy days are so rare,
But my days are new,
Might shine my future.
It was a special day,
Truer than the God,
Now you won't say,
I had fallen for you.
'Twas not a regular one,
Such days are so few,
It was a special day.
'Twas not a regular one,
That day was new,
Sweeter I saw none,
For I had seen you.
Such days are so few,
Happy days are so rare,
But my days are new,
Might shine my future.
It was a special day,
Truer than the God,
Now you won't say,
I had fallen for you.
A modified quadrilew attempted.
Created by C. G. V. Lewis, the Quadrilew is a form of quatrain poem with an abab rhyming scheme, repeating lines, and contains an alternating syllable structure.
In the first verse, the poet may either start with a five or six syllable line. If the choice is five then the 'sounding' syllable count is (and opposite if the count is six):
VERSE ONE,
Line 1, 5 syllables.
Line 2, 6 syllables.
Line 3, 5 syllables.
Line 4, 6 syllables.
VERSE TWO,
Line 1, (which is a REPEAT of line 2 of the FIRST verse) has 6 syllables.
Line 2 new line of 5 syllables
Line 3 new line of 6 syllables
Line 4 new line of 5 syllables.
VERSE THREE,
Line 1, (which is a REPEAT of line 3 of the first verse) has 5 syllables.
Line 2 new line of 6 syllables.
Line 3 new line of 5 syllables.
Line 4 new line of 6 syllables.
VERSE FOUR,
Line 1, (which is a REPEAT of line 4 of the first verse) has 6 syllables.
Line 2 new line of 5 syllables.
Line 3 new line of 6 syllables.
Line 4 new line of 5 syllables.
If the first line of verse one has 6 syllables then the pattern is
Verse 1, 6565,
Verse 2, 5656,
Verse 3, 6565,
Verse 4, 5656.
(The rhyme pattern still largely being abab.)
