Phillip Larrea is an American poet and syndicated columnist. He is the inventor of a poetic form he calls TriCubes. Tricubes are poems composed of three stanzas, each containing three lines of three syllables.
Here's an example.
TriCube by Phillip Larrea
Don’t swallow
the whole pie.
Just a bite.
Platitudes
amplified—
Certitude.
What is left
is not right.
But remains.
So, your challenge for the week is to write a TriCube (or two). Please share a link to your poem or the poem itself in the comments.

Mouth is stilled.
Guests all gone.
Dishes washed.
But the smell
Lingers on.
Tired me.
Tired you.
We both yawn.
