Frozen Hunter

Frozen Hunter: A Trilinea*

You’re a wild rose,
hungry hollow heart has hunted,
until it froze.

*Trilinea

The Trilinea, one more haiku copycat from Berg‘s Pathways for a Poet, created by Nellie Amos. It seems a bit superficial to me since the defining feature is the word “rose” must appear somewhere in the 3 lines.

The Trilinea is:

• a tristich, a poem in 3 lines.
• syllabic, with syllable count per line, 4-8-4.
• rhymed, L1 and L3 rhyme.
• composed to include the word “rose”.
• titled.
