Tristich Again

Wardrobes, full of clothes,
crossstitch cluttered walls-
her shadow still clouds my mind


TRISTICH IS A PARALLEL VERSE(Inspired by Hebrew Biblical parallels) it comprises  L1 theme L2 ECHO of theme L3 Punchline/observation

You may hear me recite this tristich and more of my PS poetry on youtube under my pen name ichthyschiro

Hi Nette, Tristich is not a quatrain , quatrain by definition means 'four' whereas the 'tri' in tristich means three.For more info on Tristich see my edits in Wikipedia. Thanks for your always welcome comments and kind words.Have a good day.Rgds Brian

Is there a syllable count for the tristich? I like your poem, Brian. Love, Kim

No Kim there is no syllable count in a tristich,the essence is the progressive parallelism.I have asked PS to include it here as a form. Thanks for your kind words.Rgds Brian
