Poetical Acrostic Triptych Trick Trip

 

       I

Poetry is metamorphosis
Of heart and mind combined, -
Emotions surge to urge osmosis,
To merge what ‘chance’ can find
Revealed behind blind synthesis
Yoking letters neatly lined.

          II

Poetry is music by another name,
Or in some manner harmony applied,
Explaining day to day occurrences supplied
To offer eurythmic interpretation game
Responding with logic on magic patter[n] frame.
Yet the alphabetic formula hid inside
Enables one to say one’s peace, with self confide
Much which must, ecstatic, “out”.  Emotion’s flame
Outpours feelings plastic, amoeba-like to claim
The victim of elastic interplay to guide
Instincts in search of prey.  But, pray, what when the tide
Of energy harmonic falters, who’s to blame ?
Not soul but spirit enters into print,
Sends signals out which others’ glasses tint.

     III

Poetry: alphabetical exercise linguistical
Overcoming excess, slick success stylistical,
Excluding artifice artistical, puny puristical,
To create with comprehensive characteristical
Respect for rythm, rhyme and meaning meta-magic mystical -
Yet melting emotions alchemistical.

    Great expression of words, but not what I wanted for being stitched up, look at my picture this is of my grandaughter taking a chance on Bunjy jumping, and I can tell you that I was all stitched up.
    Apart from that your poem is quite unique.

    as a reminder, i see a non-rhyming and two rhyming form poems, but no free-verse.

    as far as the poems themselves:

    "Triptych Stitch Sandwich Trip Tip"- quite a title, can tell how much you love witty word play. impressive how you were able to spell the word four times. not sure i understand much of what you're saying, particularly towards the end (assuming it's read left to right, from the top down. i've also tried reading it right to left, column by column both top down and reverse, but seemed to make even less sense these ways.) is there something i'm missing? i can be rather slow at times. "tempi?"

    "Haiku Triptych"- besides the syllable count i would never have guessed this was a senryu... never seen so much play with sounds packed into such a small piece before. clever and fun. i can imagine some ancient haiku masters grimacing.

    "Poetica Acrostic Triptych Trick Trip"- some very intriguing lines and images in this one. love
    "Outpours feelings plastic, amoeba-like" and
    "The victim of elastic interplay to guide/ Instincts in search of prey."

    should there be a comma before "supplied?"

    the last part is humorous, outrageously hypocritical and/or ironic and absurd yet insightful by its outrageous hypocrisy and absurdity, because wonder if it's that different from poems written in complete sincerity. don't know if i'm making any sense, could be completely off the mark, just some thoughts inspired by your poems. in any case, thanks again for your entry, and the amont of work that clearly went into it, and the smile and furrowed brow as i read it!

      Three in One

      If by your definition the three parts of a triptych 'hang' together they should not be submitted separately.

      Furthermore the senryu - or haiku - is effectively free verse and thus the vers libre list has been included.

      Finally, if you review the picture and the title of the picture in the author's notes you might notice that 'Tree in One" is a pun upon Three in One (the photographer's title not mine - follow the link)

      There is adequate separation between the variation on a theme and I see no reason to aim for three trophies. Therefore will withdraw from the contest should you so prefer.
