New poetry form: Tritina. It’s basically a short Sestina, check it out!
Based on a sestina, only written in tercets (So I guess a more accurate hybrid titled would be the terctina, but hey, I didn’t come up with it first). The pattern of end words and stanzas is:
ABC, CAB, BCA, then a floating line using ABC in that order… so, coming up with words that work very well together is a must. Give it a shot. Here’s an Australian website that has a few tritinas, and sonnetinas (shortened sonnets) and their rules.
