My music takes me anywhere,
the ship I ride to leave my cares
and worries. For hours I languish ~
my waterfall, blue and stylish
laughs with me at bad nightmares.
My music takes me anywhere,
I sail above the moon and stars,
I'll write of this in my memoirs.
My lover plays his repertoire
of music for me on guitar.
My music takes me anywhere,
Most beautiful songfests we share.
When John sang "Lucy in the Sky,"
I felt it and said, "Why not I?"
Began to write just then and there,
my music takes me anywhere.

Author Notes
Quatern,
Sixteen-line French form composed of four quatrains. Similar to the Kyrielle, but the repeat is placed in different places in each quatrain, to end the poem.
(Shadowpoetry version too long to copy; ask me if any questions!)
I know the meter is off a bit in some places. If you have any ideas for revision without changing the general tone of the poem, please share with me....thanks!
