Quatrain.
Any stanza, or verse, in a poem that consists of four lines.
A poem that consists of only four lines
This is one by William Blake and one of my favourites
Tyger! Tyger! burning bright
In the forests of the night,
What immortal hand or eye
Could frame thy fearful symmetry?
and this is a sextain, a six line stanza by Byron
She walks in beauty, like the night
Of cloudless climes and starry skies;
And all that's best of dark and bright
Meet in her aspect and her eyes:
Thus mellow'd to that tender light
Which heaven to gaudy day denies.

A quatrain is a poem, or a stanza within a poem, that consists always of four lines. It is the most common of all stanza forms in European poetry. The rhyming patterns include aabb, abab, abba, abcb.
In its narrow meaning, the term is restricted to a complete poem consisting of only four lines. In its broader sense,
"it includes any one of many four-verse stanza forms."

The poems matches the title. I like the last bit - The four directions in my compass has always pointed straight to you. However, shouldn't it be "have" instead of "has"? Anyway, what makes a good poet?? A good poet is not necessarily famous and vice versa. If you have a passion (for poetry), you can always write cause' you simply enjoy so, simply for the heck of it. Yah???
