Swap Quatrain is an invented stanzaic form that repeats L1 in inverted syntax as a refrain
in L4 of the same stanza. Created by Lorraine M Kanter. The elements of the Swap Quatrain are:
stanzaic, written in any number of quatrains.
metered at the discretion of the poet. However the lines must be long enough to create 2 hemistiches
written with 2 phrases of L1 of each stanza inverted and repeated as L4 in a refrain.
