Trinet Poetry

    Synopsis

    The Trinet form was created by Zion. The following structure should be repeated 3 times, if centered it results in a poem that looks like three crosses. This style does not have a specified rhyme scheme and thus can be rhymed or unrhymed.

    Poem Structure:

    Line 1: 2 words
    Line 2: 2 words
    Line 3: 6 words
    Line 4: 6 words

    What I Like

    I found this form through Shadow Poetry and thought it looked cool, so I decided to try it. I like the visual aspect of the finished poem and the structure is fairly simple to follow. Since the poem resembles crosses, I tend to choose faith or hope based themes for these. Personally, I think it would be weird to write a Trinet on getting wasted or some such topic...

    A Few Tips

    Two word lines back to back can seem broken and fractured if you aren't careful. If you want more fluidity, I suggest thinking of the two word lines collectively instead of separately.

    Examples

    Trouble Comes (November 3, 2014)

    Trouble comes
    The morning
    After my sins manifest in light
    Unaltered by dark shadows of night
    Worldly deeds
    Come forth.

    Trouble comes
    The aftermath
    Of wrong bubbling and boiling over
    Burning everything in its short path
    Like flames
    Coming forth.

    Trouble comes.
    The end
    Of troubled times is the door
    To perfection that existed once before--
    Peace forgotten
    Comes forth.
