This week I am revisiting Tricube poetry Tricube poems enlist the notion of  'Three.'   These poems were initially created by American author and poet, Phillip Larrea. Tricube poems are a relatively new poetry form. 3 syllables per line 3 lines per stanza 3 stanzas per poem So, we are talking cubes in mathematical terms (to the third power). No rules for rhymes, meter. Just three, three, and three. It is as simple as that! Hope this stirs my fellow poets into action. Feel three to give it a try... Last Night's Wind The wind howled All night long The beast blew It rattled Windows, walls Our world shook This morning leaves abound On the ground. Alan j Wright  It is once more, Poetry Friday! This time our host is Jone Rush-MacCulloch.   Jone is focusing on some new publications and announcing some poetic celebrations. To find out more visit Jone and gain access to loads more of the poetic happenings around the world of poetry.

  I  quite enjoy the notion of revisiting poetry forms, previously trialled, particularly those forms memorable for the challenge they presented and the pleasure derived from persisting.  The pleasing outcome of poetry when it delivers the words land safe and sound is for me, quite rewarding. These poems become our good companions and often reveal things we hadn't previously noticed.  The poetry terrain is vast, so poems come from a variety of cultures, different parts of the world and from different centuries. The choice is part of poetry's appeal.  I am returning to Golden Shovel poems. These poems are a relatively new form of poetry. 'Golden shovel' poems refers to a form of  created by Terrance Hayes around 2010.   A reminder of the rules that apply to the Golden Shovel Poetry form: Take a line (or lines) from a favourite poem Use each word in the chosen line (or lines) as an end word  for each line in your poem. Keep the end words in order. Give credit to the poet
