This flows gently down like a floating leaf.

That was the idea, but I wasn't sure I succeeded.

Brief or epic, Milt, your poetry always has a message worth reading. I haven't seen this contest. I'm playing catch up.

I had never heard of this "triangle" poem, but it sounded kind of neat, so I gave it a whirl. It's hard to come up with something that fits the form and makes sense. I hope I succeeded. I know you can!

Thanks, Marco. I'm generally a very wordy writer, so it's difficult for me to write these brief forms. I appreciate your thoughts on it.
