Brian Strand Poet Tristich

Tristich Trio

A TRISTICH TRIO
an unexpected guest arrives,
the daily routine is upset-
cancer leaves its calling card
........
tears begin to fall.
emotion becomes a flood-
a cataract of regret flows
.......
a realisation dawns,
fleeting thoughts crystallize-
as 'as is' moment of hope is born

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

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