Frozen Hunter: A Trilinea*
You’re a wild rose,
hungry hollow heart has hunted,
until it froze.

Today’s prompt is The Heart is a Lonely Hunter by Carson McCullers.

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.

Oh Wow, Rosey–your lines are so exquisite! And that book (and movie) are among my favorites–deep and heart-wrenching.

Hunting hunger until frozen. Penetrating metaphor for going after what we want to feel fulfilled.
And, hey, who doesn’t like “Rose”? I like her a lot.
