Sandra Adams Poet Verse

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 – -.

Constance La France June 26, 2019 at 8:17 AM Sandra, this is beautiful, you could call it Verse instead of, I Don't Know, that's not even a form ! Sandra Adams June 26, 2019 at 8:35 AM Thank you i did! They didn't have that form as a choice on soup so i just used I don't know to post it!

Ifeanyi Bob Ekechukwu November 9, 2013 at 8:41 AM Simply gorgeous dear Adams! Based On Belief.

Connie Marcum Wong October 30, 2013 at 12:28 AM 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! Sandra Adams October 30, 2013 at 8:07 PM thank you Connie...it was a fun form for me...if you write one you will have to let me know...i would love to see it hugs :)

Harry Horsman October 27, 2013 at 5:36 PM amazing this is, Sandra Adams October 27, 2013 at 5:42 PM Thank you Harry, hope to see other soupers give it a try :)

Andrea Dietrich October 27, 2013 at 5:30 PM Have you ever thought of becoming a premium member? It would be cool to see you doing contests on forms like this one. Sandra Adams October 27, 2013 at 5:41 PM perhaps one day i will...haven't really thought about it much :)

Andrea Dietrich October 27, 2013 at 5:29 PM 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 October 27, 2013 at 5:40 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

Shadow Hamilton October 27, 2013 at 4:06 PM good on you Sandra a lovely poem Shadow x smile Sandra Adams October 27, 2013 at 5:43 PM Thank you Shadow...it was fun yet pretty easy to do :) hugs

Robert Pettit October 27, 2013 at 3:55 PM Looks like a good example of this type of poetic expression. I will have to try it myself. Sandra Adams October 27, 2013 at 5:43 PM Thank you Robert, please let me know if you do, would love to see it :)

John Posey October 27, 2013 at 12:51 PM 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 Sandra Adams October 27, 2013 at 12:56 PM 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 :)

Sara Kendrick October 27, 2013 at 8:17 AM 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 Sandra Adams October 27, 2013 at 8:37 AM http://writingsbystone.wordpress.com/trimerics/ here is the link to the form and some examples so you can see them all :) Sandra Adams October 27, 2013 at 8:33 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 :)
