You Can, Can I

You can write a Tritina, so can I

Only I can do it acrostically

Unique, although it’s not, do it I can

Co-ordinate words to fit if you can

Another way is play with words by I

Not all Tritina’s are acrostically

Can you write Tritina’s acrostically?

Acrostic poetry helps with I can

Now I’ve explained, you do the same as I

I can, you can, I acrostically can

Author notes

an Acrostic tritina is a combination of two poetry forms

The acrostic...

Acrostic Poetry is where the first letter of each line spells a word, usually using the same
words as in the title.

The Tritina ...

Being modeled from the Sestina, there is no rhyme scheme, instead it comprises of three stanzas using the same three words in a Sestina like pattern, and a final line which uses the three words in the starting sequence:

A.. B.. C...
C.. A.. B...
B.. C.. A...
A,B,C...

lol I need to challenge myself to write form poetry as lately I have slipped in to just using free verse so I had a lot of admiration forthis. I liked how you mixed the two forms, it shows real poetic talent. Great idea x
