Going For Gold, or: The Three Strikes

Posted on August 19, 2021August 19, 2021 by ben Alexander

A tricube

He came on
hot and much
too heavy.

She froze fast
beneath his
cold, void gaze.

Thick pungent
odor was
just not right.

Tricube rules:

Each line contains three syllables.
Each stanza contains three lines.
Each poem contains three stanzas.

  this poet’s
  no artist;
  but he loves
  
  playing with
  formatting
  options on
  
  his poems,
  for meaning’s
  and art’s sakes
