Welcome to my April 2025 Great and Powerful Blogging from A to Z Challenge!

I’ve revealed my theme (A poem a day…with pictures), and of course, I am unashamedly blogging my theme letters on the fly.  So, here goes nothing!

So, without further ado, T is for …Triversen

“Triversen is a form of poetry created by physician, poet, novelist, essayist, and playwright William Carlos Williams. This 18-line poetic form is created from six single stanzas/sentences where each stanza/sentence is broken into three lines.

Rules

1. Pick a subject, any subject.
2. Write a single stanza that is equal to one sentence and based on a statement or observation.
3. Break the sentence/stanza into three lines (each line is a separate phrase in the sentence). Each line should build on the next to create a mood or story.
4. There is a variable foot of 2-4 beats per line.
5. Repeat steps 1-4 until you have 6 sentences/stanzas.
6. Finish with 6 stanzas of three lines each. The poem should add up to 18 lines.“

She stares at the screen,
finger hovering over keyboard,
mind blank.

A shock of an idea
like a tap on her shoulder,
makes her jump.

She holds out her hand
to grasp but it flutters
through her fingers.

She watches
as it scatters,
burrows back into the earth.

Closing her eyes, she waits,
knowing silence
will beckon the next.

And there it hovers
just out of reach until it lands,
gently, on her knee.
