MK,
A cute little number. Short, sweet and clean...just like I like them! I enjoyed this poem very much. Reading it was a pleasure. The flow was smooth. The theme well thought out. The arrangement is formatted very well. Good chosen words.
There was no SPAG, no typos, no room for improvement.
I look forward to seeing you again.
Love you,
Oatmeal

I am sure aabb is acceptable as well. I hear that salt makes slugs relocate
in a hurry.Looks like a proper quatrain to me, and an excellent post.

This definition of a quatrain as a complete poem I hav always found od. In my book a quatrain is a satanza of four lines. The rhyme scheme abab is sometimes referred to as quatrain rhyme but a quatrain can have any available rhyme scheme or even none as a free verse quatrain. Its adoption as a style of poetry i.e. a poem consisting purely of quatrains being called a quatraine poem is, I believe, an internet creation. That is to say the form has been around forever but the name has been grafted on within the lifetime of the internet.
This quatrain of rhyming couplets is a fascinating free rhythm piece (it has not consistant meter or syllably count). Is success lies in the completeness of its statement within just four line.

Mystery Poet,
I often penned about something that happens in my life and very well we should. You did an excellent job in penning this poem about the situation that occurred in your yard. Great rhyming, meter and a very smooth flow. Please, if they should return dial 911 and don't get involved with these Slugs. Thanks for sharing and the very best to you in the contest. Blessings................Portia

I enjoyed reading your interesting Quatrain poem. It's short, but clear and straight to the point. I would have liked to see an artwork choice, but it paints its own picture. I also like the flow of your rhymes.

A well-written quatrain poetry contest entry. I think you completed the challenge of the contest well. Your words flowed easily line to line combining and forming the message of the poem for the reader.

Comment from humpwhistle
I love it poets choose odd topics.
Slugs are odd--at least in my neighborhood.
Not unheard of, but seldom the topic of odes.
More power to you.
Poets are underappreciated in the humor department--excluding Nash and Spenser, of course.
Best of luck.
Peace, Lee

Comment from William Ross
I am not sure this meets the specs of the prompt. Not because of the rhyme pattern, but it is only one stanza or verse, where their should what I can tell 3 stanzas or more. for the example of a qautrain it says 4 lines per stanza.

My handbook to literature says a quatrain can be a poem of 4 lines or 4 line stanzas in a poem.
