Day 13 ~ “Tricube Poem” for “30 Poems in 30 Days” #NationalPoetryMonth

Well, I’m always on the lookout for poetry forms that are new, even to me. I happened across this one last year and it was so fun that I'm going to share it again, on Day 13, using all the same examples, etc. 

Let’s see what you've got this year, especially our newbies.

Give it a try!! Oh my!!

It’s called a TRICUBE and the premise is 3 + 3 + 3 =

Three stanzas

Three lines each

Three syllables per line

RHYMING DOES NOT MATTER . . . but watching your syllables does!! So COUNT THEM OUT!! Three syllables per line!

 

   

How hard can that be? You might be surprised. Here are a few I came up with but I’m expecting better offerings from all of you! Cheers!!

 

A new day
Rising sun
Hope eternal

 

List of chores
I’ll get done
Later on
 

Nightfall comes
Chores not done
Not surprised

Baby boy
Toothless grin
Wants grandma

 

Hug my boy
Here’s a toy
What a joy
 

Baby boy
Cries nonstop
Go see mom

 

~~~~~~~

 
My kitten
Heart smitten
‘Til bitten

 

Mean ol’ cat
What a brat
None of that
 

Sad kitty
Not guilty
Still picky
