Promoting the waterford: a single verse quatrain, with an ABBA rhyming scheme and 8, 4, 4, 8 syllable count. Described as the Irish haiku, the waterford is a poetic expression of positivity. See waterford.carrd.co and the annual competition. Stay poetic!

In waterfords, your verse will soar -
syllabically,
the lines must be
