Trionet

Created by L Milton Hankins, a two-stanza poem.

 

 

The bones, lay flat, without a sound, Then one by one, clickety-clack. Departed souls’ cold backs did crack. The bones lay flat without a sound, Until their jaws did flap, confound. Each found its skull a lantered-Jack. The bones lay flat without a sound. Then one by one, clickety-clack. The bones lay flat without a sound. The bones lay flat without a sound. The bones lay flat without a sound. Then one by one, clickety-clack. Then one by one, clickety-clack. Deceased army prepares attack.

"Deceased army prepares attack." -- Love the ending as well. Great mood piece. Halloween bones, both lean a fat, clickety-clack, are stirred by the paws of a deceased black cat. Mother had her licks and padded mittens, now she leads a horrid pride of clickety-clack kittens.
