Love’s Tapestry (Monotetra)

Charles_Frederic_Ulrich_1858_1908_Young_Girl_Embroidering

hands held pulses stitched together
our hearts were then sewn forever
these days I beg to remember
we were tethered ~ we were tethered

like an intricate tapestry
woven colours for all to see
remember what you were to me
embroidery ~ embroidery

Trying my hand/mind with another form.

The monotetra is a poetic form developed by Michael Walker.
Here are the basic rules:
Comprised of quatrains (four-line stanzas) in tetrameter (four metrical feet) for a total of 8 syllables per line.
Each quatrain consists of mono-rhymed lines (so each line in the first stanza has the same type of rhyme, as does each line in the second stanza, etc.)
The final line of each stanza repeats the same four syllables
This poem can be as short as one quatrain and as long as a poet wishes
