Dusty Memories

amidst my walls a discolored rose a wedding photo a collection of memories a discolored rose a moment of mourning as fragile as life a wedding photo of lovers once parted united in the beyond a collection of memories coalesce together a collage of juncture i found this form online and wanted to experiment with it... Trimeric Trimeric \tri-(meh)-rik\ n: a four stanza poem in which the first stanza has four lines and the last three stanzas have three lines each, with the first line of each repeating the respective line of the first stanza. The sequence of lines, then, is abcd, b – -, c – -, d – -.

Your lines flow so wonderfully from one stanza to the next, it is like a lovely water fall that pauses briefly in a small pool before cascading onto the next. You made this form one I am inspired to try in the future Sandy. Mahalo!

Have you ever thought of becoming a premium member? It would be cool to see you doing contests on forms like this one.

perhaps one day i will...haven't really thought about it much :)

I've heard of similar style poems, Sandy. I like seeing you use different forms. But for me you will always be one of the most awesome of the free versers that I know. Love this one too.

Sandra Adams
Date: 10/27/2013 5:40:00 PM

Thank you Andrea...this style is similar to free verse except the one rule of reusing the lines from the first stanza in the remaining stanzas :) hugs

Looks like a good example of this type of poetic expression. I will have to try it myself.

Go ahead and edit this as Trimeric. You followed the definition to a 'T'. It's gratifying to find an adventurous soul inside a natural Poetess.... Great work, sweetheart.... Jake

I couldn't list it as that because the form is not in the options on the soup... and thank you Jake...it was a cool write, my muse wanted to go in so many directions i may have to write in this form again :)

Interesting form and great thoughts penned within..Enjoyed reading this one today..Thanks for your presence at my work..Is there meter?..Is there syllable count?..Is there rhyme?..Sara

http://writingsbystone.wordpress.com/trimerics/ here is the link to the form and some examples so you can see them all :)

Sandra Adams
Date: 10/27/2013 8:33:00 AM

from what i saw it did not contain rhyme, meter or a syllable count...i posted how it was worded exactly beneath the forms...the examples varied and some had short lines, some had big...to me it's like a free verse with the rule of the first verse 2nd, 3rd and 4th lines beginning the remaining stanzas... and thank you for your visit Sara :)
