The Tricube ~ Day 6

I take my
earl grey tea
with sweet cream

lavender
and jasmine
with honey

sweet shortbread
tea biscuits
for dunking

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.



The Tricube – Day 5

even if
I could change
the outcome

I wouldn’t …
I would choose
the same path

no regrets
gratefulness
for this life

The Tricube – Day 4 – Sebastian

Sebastian

my old cat
Sebastian
matted fur

naps all day
in the sun
skin and bones

twenty-two
years, nine lives
unspent still

The Tricube – Day 3

how gently
dusk descends
like a hug

lullaby
of angels…
all is well

close your eyes
take a breath
dream of dawn

The Tricube – Day 2

memories
prick my heart
with sadness

wistful thoughts
missing those
departed

but then joy
sweeps o’er me
and I smile
