we need more
kindness, more
compassion
it is fear
of others
that broke us
hugs were once
innocent
I miss touch
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
it takes time
for some plants
to bounce back
uprooted
repotted
in new soil
like caged birds
who forgot
how to fly

Today is the last day of the Tricube. I enjoyed this form very much. It challenged a fair amount. Three syllables can get tricky. As in life it’s best to keep things simple. Tomorrow we will explore another micropoetry form, the Pleiades. Have a great weekend!
Tricubes
Here are the rules of tricubes:
• Each line contains three syllables.
• Each stanza contains three lines.
• Each poem contains three stanzas.
So we’re talking cubes in mathematical terms (to the third power). No rules for rhymes, meter, etc. Just three, three, and three.

It really is Sadje. I had my doubts when I first read about elements of the form, but I was and am pleasantly surprised by how well this form comes together.

I have too Willow. I really do like this form! Like you said, it is so delicate. That was a surprise to me given that it’s called triCUBE! It doesn’t feel boxy or boxed in at all!
