Comment from Eternal Muse
I liked your swap quatrain. I wrote one years ago, and it's an interesting form. You used the chosen words well, it sounds and flows naturally.
This must have been a hard one to write, I give you a lot of credit. Great job. You rose to the club's challenge with feet to spare (smile).

This poem speaks about traditions that we maintain naturally not just convention, legend, and part of custom or folklore; well said, well done; thanks for sharing this. ALCREATOR

Comment from Paul McFarland
Nicely done for a swap quatrain. The last stanza is a little confusing to me. "Create sadness prevention" is my main problem. What am I missing here? I've got try one of these someday.

I think you rose to the challenge, Joan. And it's quite a challenge, swap quatrain involving particular words! Your poem made sense, imparting an important message. Traditions vary from group to group but they are precious and deserve to be cherished.
Thanks for sharing. Stay safe healthy and blessed

Your club poem reads well, DP. Good job with the swap quatrain style. Your lines flow smoothly, the rhymes work, the reversal of line 1 as line 4 is smooth, and your message is clear. You give readers much to think about.
Respectfully, Jan

I like your message about the importance of convention and traditions and proper manners. These form a foundation for social behavior. We're lacking that common thread today.
