Ethic in epic
flaws and honors laid open
fates of gods and men

Life is too heavy to bear
Sometimes sadness
Surrounds and slips
It's fingers to strangle
All hope.
All to nothing.

Then breathe deep
Centre. Find that scintilla
Worth holding onto,
That sliver of humanity,
Lent by a friend
To make you anew

Teller, a fella involved

winter bus stop
breath in the streetlight
no one waiting

faces blur in a stubborn fight as the last light fades

an epic journey
through lonely years

dawn through thin curtains
another morning arrives
the road goes on

Oh lord no, I am old now and living my life through the memories of songs I once could dance all night to!

This is a Trianza poem, a poetic form created by Eric Montgomery (@madp03t.bsky.social). A Trianza, blends haiku influence, Waltmarie-style echoes, and acrostic structure. When displaying the final poem, it's ideal if the waltmarie-echo lines are italicized and indented a few spaces. 

Hammered clouds press low over rusted roofs
  *dust lifting in the wind*
Evening settles thick along the tired street
  *crickets stitching the dark*
Anvil hush hangs in the pause before rain
  *leaves turning upward*
Veins of thunder crawl slow across the sky
  *sparrows scatter*
Yielding earth waits under the swollen air
  *cool drops begin*

This is a Trianza poem, that I created in 2024. It blends haiku influence, Waltmarie-style echoes, & acrostic structure.

From the person who failed physics A-level! Who’d have thought - a poem about the conservation of momentum! πŸ˜‚

😊 Fortunately, the next poem was a very happy one, so it cheered me up!

It really is good though, I just felt weird being positive about such an awful subject ❀️

A fallen acorn takes root
Legacy living
