I have to say, these triangle poems are a true delight. I strongly recommend them. They are a quick, simple and prayerful way of engaging whatever thoughts might be floating around up there in the amniotic fluid of our minds.
unity in reverse
Come to us this awkward hour
with pensive silt of home.
Woo our devotion
from love estranged
and tilt us
toward
us.
ambiguity
Was this what I signed up for?
To seal the deal with vows
never more to seek
what questions come
in places
dark but
good?
sipping water
Crispy lips half parted now
to slurp what freshness comes
and slake this parch-ed
throat deserted,
now relieved;
stubborn
thirst.
solitary
Were it not for gut-deep cries
my soul might never seek
a breviary,
solitary,
place for me
to find
you.
kilted men
Knees of thunder now revealed
and thighs like knotted pine,
the wind now blowing,
just as you prayed
it would, for
kilted
men.
Isn’t that fun? I love triangle poems, too!
Melody, I’ve been a poet for years and never tried these until recently. They’re a hoot!
