The Tricube – Day 7

By Kat Myrman 
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.

The Tricube – Day 5

By Kat Myrman 
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

By Kat Myrman 
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

By Kat Myrman 
how gently
dusk descends 
like a hug

lullaby 
of angels…
all is well

close your eyes
take a breath
dream of dawn
