Nine line poem: the Trine

Tweet

The Trine is another poem, like a previous post of mine, the Pleiades, which has something to do with the stars--or at least, heavenly bodies--in this case three planets forming a 120 degree triangle. The rhyme pattern for the Trine is a-a-b-b-c-c-a-b-c There doesn't seem to be a set syllable count for each line, though they should probably be similar. ~*~ As two thousand sixteen comes And the clock behind me hums Wonder if I will make it? Before the T.V. I'll sit; In my journal I will write, Until the end of the night And the late hour my brain numbs. Getting too old, I admit I turn in 'fore morning light. © Stacey Uffelman 12/31/15
