MUSCLE MEMORY

this feeling it does not fade with time
remembering a touch, a caresss
the pleasure and ecstacy sublime
moments in various states of undress
and pure carnal bliss

English Quintain

This is a popular form of Quintain having no set measure or foot and has a rhyming scheme of a. b. a. b. b.

The Quintain is an excellent base to work from for any longer poem (for example ballads). Two stanza, and we have a Sonnetina Cinque and several poets have added two couplets to two quintains in various ways and made a sonnet, although three Quintains could still qualify as a sonnet (with a tail).
