Blemished - a Coin Poem
Inspired by the form Suzette shared.
Clothes are washed in the machine
Left behind a stain
My mental load is rinsed through
Does not remove pain
Description of form by Suzette Richards
Poetic form: Coin poem
COIN POEM
The Coin poem is a two-couplet stanzaic poem where the first couplet states a thought and the second flips it or shows the other side. It is syllabic, showing some relation to many Japanese poems by alternating seven and five syllable line couplets, but has rhyme. The rhyme can be as rhymed couplets (aa, bb), or merely the 2nd and 4th lines of the poem (ab, cb).
