Fandango’s One Word Challenge is trail.  Word of the Day Challenge is camaradarie.  These two words immediately made me think of the writing community here at Word Press that is such a joyous and supportive community.  I love you!  OK enough of the mushy.

Here’s another form that ends up being in a sort of diamond shape, but it’s because of the syllable count of the triquain.  The Triquain, created by Shelley A. Cephas, is a poem with several creative variances and can be a rhyming or non-rhyming verse. The simpliest form is a poem made up of 7 lines with 3, 6, 9, 12, 9, 6, and 3 syllables in this order.  It is always centered.
