Dizzying

Head over
Heels as I climb in the
Car, feel my heart beating faster and
Faster, we move oh so slowly at first but soon
Picking up pace as we rise to the
Top where we stop with a
Jolt: are we
Stuck here forever, I
Wonder? But no, they're just filling the
Cars and we're off, spinning down and around and then
Up again, crazily, dizzily,
Tumbling wildly, heels
Over head.



Prompt Form: Triquain Swirl

The Triquain, created by Shelley A. Cephas, is a poem with several creative variences
and can be a rhyming or non-rhyming verse. The Swirl, is essentially two of the basic building blocks of this form connected by their 3 syllable lines in the middle.

The syllable pattern for a double Triquain Swirl is: 3, 6, 9, 12, 9, 6, 3, 6, 9, 12, 9, 6, 3.

You may also write a triple Triquain Swirl that looks like this: 3, 6, 9, 12, 9, 6, 3, 6, 9, 12, 9, 6, 3, 6, 9, 12, 9, 6, 3.
