- Each line contains three syllables.
- Each stanza contains three lines.
- Each poem contains three stanzas."
I've been practicing this poetry form and having some fun with it. There are no rules for them as far as meter or rhyme, but I like adding rhyme to them. They are quick and easy to write, so I wrote several. I posted them with some of my photos to help bring them to life.
Therapy
Yellow birds
adorn shrubs.
Time to eat.
Red berries
draw them in,
juicy sweet.
My green eyes
watching them:
life complete.
Peaceful Pond
Turtles perch
on a log
in the sun.
Ducks circle,
bottoms up,
splash for fun.
Bullfrogs croak.
Sun goes down.
Day is done.
Elusive
Enchanted
dragonfly,
grace in flight.
Gossamer
wings reflect
the sunlight,
help her to
flit away
out of sight.
Sleepless Night
Train rumbles
far away
down the track.
Keeps going,
chug-a-chug,
can't turn back.
Lullaby
late at night,
click-click-clack.
Curtain's Up!
Theater
marquee lights
can't compare
as sunset's
orange glow
fills the air.
Neon sky
steals the show
on town square.
