A Sapphonic Triad
A chapter in the book Little Poems
The Fear
by Treischel
|
Of course the fear is - who will we choose as our next President? The famous quote is from Franklin Delano Roosevelt (FDR) during his address to congress after the bombing of Pearl Harbor.
This poem is a Sapphonic Triad
A Sapphonic Triad is a format created by our own Ciliverde, and named by Pantygynt. It consists of three parts (the triad) - a two line quotation (Free verse but max total of sixteen syllables - must be concise and memorable), followed by a quatrain of four lines each of four syllables, and finally an 8-4-6 syllable envoi that moves us on somewhere...it should have a "satori" feeling. It is called Sapphonic due to its similarity to the female, ancient Greek poet Sappho, who was famous for her clever, short poetic works.
