One let’s start

Me and you,

Can it work?

πŸ’™πŸ’™πŸ’™

Two, we’ll see

You and me

What might be.

πŸ’™πŸ’”πŸ’™

Three uh! oh!

There’s no hope

Now just me.

πŸ’”πŸ’”πŸ’”

[A/n: Mike Singleton is one of the most inspiring creators on Vocal. He is a constant source of unofficial challenges and presents different forms of poetry. In a recent story, he talked about Tricube poetry. It is a very structured (three) x (three) x (three) format, the syllables for each of the three lines and three stanzas in the poem.

It appealed to my OCD tendencies for structure and order, so I had to try one. This was it. ]
