Trilinea

• The Trilinea, one more haiku copycat from Berg's Pathways for a Poet, created by Nellie Amos. It seems a bit superficial to me since the defining feature is the word "rose" must appear somewhere in the 3 lines.
  
  The Trilinea is:
• a tristich, a poem in 3 lines.
• syllabic, with syllable count per line, 4-8-4.
• rhymed, L1 and L3 rhyme.
• composed to include the word "rose".
• titled.

Thanks to Judi  Van Gorder, who has done a marvelous job with PMO.  I agree with her feeling about this form.

My Example

Hardly Matters

I rose to say

something;  what is was I forgot

but that's okay.

Quinzaine

• The Quinzaine is an internet form found at Shadow Poetry and Instant Poetry for Kids, named from the French qunize (fifteen) for the 15 syllables the poem contains.
  
  The Quinzaine is:
• a tristich, a 3 line poem.
• syllabic, 7-5-3 syllables per line.
• unrhymed.
• composed of: L1 a statement, L2 and L3 questions related to the statement.

Insanity Defense      (Quinzaine)

Right and wrong are human judgments.

Can incapable man

do no wrong?
