Tristich Series

Sixty year old cabinet hinge squeaks
Pain as owner bends her knees
A long relationship at its peak

Cling wrap drops upon the floor
Carpal tunnel lessened her grip
Cabinet door hangs loose from core

Stiff painful back slows grabbing wrap
Lying upon unswept white tiles 
Angels hoover near as she collapsed

Hilo Poet Date: 2/23/2020 8:16:00 PM The descriptiveness opens a foothold of words being realized throughout, from its stark beginning to its dramatic ending--it is a shining moment to be had--glad to have read this Sara, blessings and -- Aloha!~@wk Login to Reply

Sandra Adams Date: 2/22/2020 8:42:00 AM wow… I have never done this form and know nothing about it...but the picture you paint, your metaphor and wording is excellent...I could see this one unfolding... Great to see a new write from you...if for the contest, best wishes, though I think it would do rather well with the quality of the write! hugs, hope all is well!

There are several ways of writing them according to sites on the internet. You can find one in the Bible(there are more than one though there) Psalms 104: 15. Thanks for dropping by. I did not know about a contest.
