This is a poetrybook entitled, The Taj Mahal: Quatrains 1 to 80". This is a long ode to the Taj Mahal. This is a third edition.

The poetrybook is divided into 4 chapters. Each chapter has 5 sonts. Each sont has 4 quatrains. The total number of quatrains is 80 quatrains since: 4 chapters x 5 sonts/chapter x 4 quatrains/sont = 80 quatrains.

What is a "sont"? The poet invents the word "sont" to differentiate his poems from a "sonnet". The poet defines "sont" as a "16 line poem". A "sonnet" is a 14 line poem.

The long poem was first written between September-October 2002 in Milpitas (California). The long poem is now published via lulu.com on November 11, 2016, Friday as a first edition. The third edition is released on January 3, 2017.

The original long poem is 100 quatrains but I cut off the 100 quatrains to 80 quatrains for this book. The remaining 20 quatrains is transferred to a sequel.

The author plans to release a second poetrybook or a sequel about the Taj Mahal by 2017.
