Tritina
Example
Early
Evening Tritina
Stanza 1
The
sun was low in the sky. We were going to watch for deer. (1)
It
would be dark soon. (2)
We
had only a little time, but I was with you.
(3)
Stanza 2
I
climbed the ladder of your tree stand and glanced down at the pond. You (3)
followed
and said, "We might not see a deer."
(1)
I
nodded. "But if we're going
to, it will be soon. (2)
Stanza 3
Your
words were magic. Soon
(2)
was
an understatement. I gazed down at
the clover-covered field. So did you. (3)
As
if on due, out of the woods stepped two majestic deer. (1)
Envoy
They
ate and left, too soon. (2) That evening, you (3) gave me a miracle in the shape of
the deer. (1)
