Contest Description
What to Submit?
Tritina form mirrors the repetition we accept in conversation. Choose three of your most used poetic words, those that for whatever reason find themselves within several of your poems - words you are strangely drawn to and resonate with you. The tritina form causes you to restate thoughts with the 3 end words repeated on rotation - which can on occasion create a revelation by the end of the poem.
Three tercets with three end-words rotated in the sequence 123, 312, 231, and a single final line containing all three end-words
Consistency in line length, but I won't be checking syllable count.
Tense of your 3 words can stay the same or be adjusted if it works well. I'm flexible, so looking for something that is obviously a tritina but if tense for instance is changed within the poem for the three words for poetic value and that works then that's fine by me .
Tritina form only is acceptable.
