Hat Bueckert Poet Tritina

Spherical Scheme

So simple a ruse I silenced a scream
Just gullible enough to fall for your scheme
While you're bored and just blowing off steam

Now that this con has gathered more steam
My frustration has lent volume to my scream
How is it I haven't found an exit to this scheme

Not a pyramid but more of a spherical scheme
As it spins out of control so swiftly it gathers steam
And I just, I just. AHHHHHHHHHH. Scream.

I scream for this scheme to run out of steam

Jeff Kyser October 28, 2022 at 5:48 PM That's a form I've not gotten the hang of. Is the last line relief at making it to line 10, lol, enjoyed, Hat. Hat Bueckert November 13, 2022 at 7:41 PM Haha I would say yes, this was tricky!
