Brian, what follows is NOT a criticism - not of you or your views or your poetry. Please keep this in mind before you snap like a defective bungee cord.
Have you ever considered writing in something other than quatrains? There's nothing wrong with quatrains and I'm not saying that you shouldn't construct your poems that way, but all of your poems (here, at least) seem to have a sort of sameness about them. You can write poems any way you like, and I'd be the last one to say otherwise. I'm just curious if you've ever written sonnets or rhyming couplets or anything but quatrains.
To reiterate: This is a question, not a criticism. If you like quatrains, that's all well and good. How you write your poems is your business and nobody else's.
(Eleven disclaimers. I hope that's enough.)
