A Tricube Poem

A story in 9 stanzas

Today’s poetry form is a Tricube. The form requires 3 lines of 3 syllables each, in 3 stanzas. I got on a roll and wrote 9 stanzas for a complete story. Look out William Shakespeare!

Writing

Writing now

Holy cow

It’s a plow

Need a plan

Could be man

On the lam?

Get words down

Will he drown

Get a crown?

Make him stressed

Flee the nest

Go out west.

Make him rest

Beat his chest

Find a guest

It’s a girl

Her hair curls

Her skirt swirls

Now they run

Get a gun

They’re undone

Bad guys win?

His chagrin

Her straight pin

See them win

They begin

Next of kin
