..
Three sheets:
To the wind
we tender
faith, hope, love.
To the fates
we tumble
mind, body, soul;
toss
rock, scissors,
………paper
at fear.
On ivory shore
we spill
blood, sweat, tears
.
………………….ink.

Written for the last Trifecta. Sniff. 😦

*The Latin phrase “omne trium perfectum” means “everything that comes in threes is perfect,” or “every set of three is complete.”
It’s been a privilege to write for Trifecta this past year or so. I wish all of its incredible editors and writers well. And since I’m addicted, I still plan to write 33-word poems at least once a week. Maybe Tuesdays. 😉
Tuesdays are 33 and poetry? I’ll be reading
This is gorgeous, inside and out! I love it all. I too am addicted to the 33-word phenomenon. I think in 33’s now. 🙂
So it’s a date, then, Tuesdays? 😉
Awww. They are wonderful I’m sorry to see them close up, but I do know how life gets in the way of writing, and trying to do extra things, like a website/contest etc. You have done some stellar poetry for this site, and this poem is no exception–witty, clever and fun 🙂
Thank you, Sara. I’m so thankful for their site. Some of what I wrote for Trifecta has since been published in journals, etc. One of my first published pieces, actually. Thankful.
Gorgeous gorgeous gorgeous.
Thank you, Mosk.
Well, this is a perfect poem!
Ivory shore I’m assuming is the writer’s page.
And yes: rock, paper, & scissors – all of them – at fear, indeed!
Yes, ma’am. I desperately needed an extra word or two to call it “one last ivory shore,” for Trifecta, but I haven’t been able to whittle it that way yet. 😉
Last few lines are beautiful. And, you know what? I’m up for Trifecta Tuesdays too! 😀
Yay! Three’s a party. 🙂
I love your three sheets – so beautifully written and the sentiments exoressed so strong. I will keep coming back to read your poetry. Looking forward to your 33-word Tuesdays. 🙂
A great use of your last 33 Trifecta words. I loved the ending and the image of us spilling blood, sweat, tears …. and ink.
Very nice indeed – I read your last line several times
Love it all, De – fabulous poem!
Love the way your poems tumble down the page, De! This is divine. I love the sets of three.
Catch ya on Tuesday : )
Wow. This is simply splendid writing. Absolutely brilliant!
Wow!This is wonderful!Loved reading it:-)Wish you all the best,tc
This is fabulous, from its title to its final word. I gobbled it up twice it was so tasty. Thanks for sharing in our final challenge – and keep going with the 33 magic, why not?!
I love this. I wish I could write poetry like you do!
Great idea for 33-word Tuesdays? Can uninvited guests join the party? Please say yes 🙂
Open invites, all. 😉
And thank you Janna. I love your work, too. I hope to keep in touch with quite few Trifectans.
So beautiful! And clever too 🙂
