Jay O'Toole Posted July 21, 2017 Share Posted July 21, 2017 Here are two poems made with a form that is completely new to me. At the bottom of the post is a link that explains the form. Summer flowers Roses, vincas, hostas, bushes Some are flowers —————————————————————————————————————————— Stifled by heat Roses drip with afternoon rain Body feels beat http://www.rainbowcommunications.org/wordplay/forms/Trilinca.pdf Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tinker Posted July 21, 2017 Share Posted July 21, 2017 Hi Jay, Clever play on words In the first. The second one I can relate, it has been hot here although no rain. I believe the Trilinea (your source has a couple of misspells) has been around since the 50s and was first published in Pathways for a Poet, a book of poetic forms written for teachers and contributed to by teachers. I included it on my Haiku Wannabe page. The Trilinea appears to me to be a simplified 15th century Stornello which I think is more poetic. The Stornello is sometimes called Fiori which means "flower" so when I was writing a Stornello I did use the rose as a metaphor, very cliché but was perfect for me at the time. Using the word "rose" is not an element of the Stornello. ~~TinkToday I rose to see a world of possibilities beckoning me. ~~Judi Van Gorder Quote ~~ © ~~ Poems by Judi Van Gorder ~~ For permission to use this work you can write to Tinker1111@icloud.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
