List: Triquain

Triquain, created by Shelley Cephas 11/05/06, rhyme or non-rhyme.

Seven lines with syllables in multiples of 3 as follows:
3, 6, 9, 12, 9, 6, 3

Triquain Chain: a string of 2 to 4 Triquains, a space between each triquain.

Triquain Crown: a string of 5 Triquains, a space between each triquain.

Triquain Swirl: the repetition of the Triquain string that is connected by a 3 syllable line as follows:
3, 6, 9, 12, 9, 6, 3, 6, 9, 12, 9, 6, 3... and so on.

Also, to be more creative, you may add a hidden thought in your swirl by taking 3 or 4 syllables in line 6 of your first triquain in the swirl and link it to the following 3 syllable lines throughout your poem to make a thought summing up what you have written in your poem.

Triquain and Triquain Swirls are always centered.
