Triquain

The Triquain, created by Shelley A. Cephas, is a poem with several creative variences
and can be a rhyming or non-rhyming verse. The simpliest form is a poem made up of
7 lines with 3, 6, 9, 12, 9, 6, and 3 syllables in this order.

Triquain Chain: a string of 2 to 4 Triquains, a space between each triquain.
2 stanzas - 3, 6, 9, 12, 9, 6, 3 3, 6, 9, 12, 9, 6, 3
3 stanzas - 3, 6, 9, 12, 9, 6, 3 3, 6, 9, 12, 9, 6, 3 3, 6, 9, 12, 9, 6, 3
4 stanzas - 3, 6, 9, 12, 9, 6, 3 3, 6, 9, 12, 9, 6, 3 3, 6, 9, 12, 9, 6, 3 3, 6, 9, 12, 9, 6, 3

Triquain Crown: a string of 5 Triquains, a space between each triquain.
3, 6, 9, 12, 9, 6, 3 3, 6, 9, 12, 9, 6, 3 3, 6, 9, 12, 9, 6, 3 3, 6, 9, 12, 9, 6, 3 3, 6, 9, 12, 9, 6, 3

Triquain Swirl: a 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.
