Write an Oddquain about poverty.
Oddquain is a short, usually unrhymed poem consisting of seventeen syllables distributed 1/3/5/7/1 in 5 lines, developed by Glenda L. Hand.
Just a Touch
the question you ask
decides the answer you receive
if that makes any sense
And I get the sense
by the way you ask
you know what you’ll receive
and what you receive
in every sense
is also in who you ask
And if you ask me, you will receive non sense
Write a Tritina with a touch of whimsy or nonsense.
The tritina is composed of 3 tercets and a final line that stands alone.
The pattern of word-repetition is as follows, where the words that end the lines of the first tercet are represented by the numbers “1 2 3”:
1 2 3
3 1 2
2 3 1
(1 2 3)

You are right about how a poet and poverty equal the same thing. I enjoyed this style of poetry.

Best to have both in good supply and blur the line when you can. Keep em guessing.

I just read the blitz poem on death and thought that was one of the best I’d ever read – but this one, this tritina blew me away! Wonderful whimsy and tongue in cheek look at asking and receiving! It reminds me of the strategy of asking permission from a parent. You had to ask the right way, at the right time and you had to choose the right parent….

Thank you for the compliment. If there anything I can do it’s nonsense.
I’m noticing that with my own children now. They are still so young, yet they have some kind of sixth sense for it.
