  • Here is Guillotine bi-trillets

    The ring of steel bells. beckons us to hell
    The audience ignores the sound
    Multiple bodies hit the ground

    The chiming goes on, sings a restless song
    Unrelenting sorrowful tears
    The heart shutters to stop in fear

    Hope is so far gone, whispered please at dawn
    Guillotine swinging in the sun
    Eternal…Read More

  • bi-trillets attempt. this one wasn’t easy for me…never do well when rhymin is involved.

    endless night confession

    breathe in the black smoke, love feels like a joke
    the nights we wasted tasted strange
    cheap liquor kiss, dirty exchange

    you were my worst itch, struck like a kill switch
    old barroom lungs in borrowed light
    we swore we’…Read More

    • A brilliant submittal, Syr Dru 🥂

      Congratulations on another successfully excellent effort in displaying such admirable skill in the true essence and grasp of that which is conveyed in these earnestly shared teaching sessions.

I’ll agree with you on fixin the rhyme so I’ll add the s to pain. but you’re gonna have to pry my lowercase letters and lack of punctuation from my cold dead ha…Read More

    The “BI-TRILLETS” form.
    Wednesday, December 3rd, 2025

    ~———————————•§•———————————~

    I had planned to teach this session on Meter, or more specifically “Poetic Meter”, which entails getting into some rather complex technical issues.
    But, since we’ve been rather saturated with technicalities of late…Read More

  • Secret Ride (magic of Poetic Voice)

    He came at night,
    On a wind of heat.
    A bead of sweat,
    On lips so sweet.
    “Come with me”
    He whispered close.
    They are all asleep,
    Said, my sexy host.
    I crawled out of bed.
    On crumpled sheets.
    A teddy that cling,
    To my heat.
    Just be quiet.
    It will be fun.
    No one will know,
    Not even one.
    Once ins…Read More
