Tri-Con
Created by Connie Marcum Wong consisting of at least 4 three-line stanzas. Each line has no set meter or syllable count. The last word in each stanza must rhyme with the following Stanza, then you need to change your rhyming word again in the third stanza, and so on.
When I look around, I see sadness,
everyone seems so serious,
as if they've forgotten how to smile.
I don't see happiness
amongst those frowning faces,
and I haven't seen it for a while.
Strangers choose to remain strangers,
for friendliness evokes suspicion,
and receives a quizzical look.
There was a time when
folks greeted each other warmly,
and a friendly hand, offered, got shook.
Nowadays, emotions are expressed by emojis;
and since feelings can be stored on a cloud
far fewer friends talk or embrace today.
Humanity's caught in a world wide web,
spun by a technological spider,
and reality struggles to keep AI at bay.
