Tri-Con
Created by Connie Marcum Wong, consisting of at least four three-line stanzas. Each line has no set meter or syllable count. The last word in each stanza rhymes with the following stanza, then you need to change your rhyming word again in the third stanza and so on.
The last ten years swiftly flew by
everyone looks so much older,
I barely recognize faces.
Over time, I have realized
loyalties and friendships are formed
on a temporary basis.
I feel I have been abandoned;
my health has become a concern,
and I often think I’m alone.
I have trouble falling asleep
for my back is in constant pain,
and what causes it is unknown.
I'm bald; I've no hair left to comb,
and dentures have replaced my teeth;
my legs hurt, and I need a cane.
There is no up side to aging,
technology screws with my mind,
and all I can do is complain.
