Blemished - a Coin Poem

Inspired by the form Suzette shared. Clothes are washed in the machine Left behind a stain My mental load is rinsed through Does not remove pain Description of form by Suzette Richards Poetic form: Coin poem COIN POEM The Coin poem is a two-couplet stanzaic poem where the first couplet states a thought and the second flips it or shows the other side. It is syllabic, showing some relation to many Japanese poems by alternating seven and five syllable line couplets, but has rhyme. The rhyme can be as rhymed couplets (aa, bb), or merely the 2nd and 4th lines of the poem (ab, cb).
