Today’s poem is in the triquain form.
we found you
violating a child
trial by villagers; sentenced to death
burned at the stake in a bonfire at the churchyard
we spread your ashes over our fields
you’ve helped feed us for years
we give thanks

This is potent.

I went out to look at word origins for bonfire and saw that the first part of the word has roots in bones, not french=good, and the poem pretty much wrote itself after that.
