Quatrain	These are four line verse poems. The lines can rhyme in two patterns. Lines one and two and three and four or lines one and three. Example by British poet laureate, Andrew Motion, "Causa Belli" ÃƒÂ¢Ã¢â€šÂ¬Ã¢â‚¬Â "They read good books, and quote, but never learn a language other than the scream of rocket-burn. Our straighter talk is drowned but ironclad: elections, money, empire, oil and Dad."
