The Storm has Passed

The Storm has Passed
(Tercets)




The storm has passed
And I'm aghast
At the damage that was done.

The trees are broke
And "Holy Smoke!
The buildings are all just gone!"

Just hope and pray
That those who stay
Can rebuild, not be undone.






This is picture from hurricane Sandy along the new Jersey shore., but it could just as well be from any one storm. My muse is from a snow storm we had here last night. It wasn't this bad, but got me thinking about other storms.

This poem is a Tercet.
A Tercet is a Poem having three line stanzas. A unit or group of three lines of verse which are rhymed together or have a rhyme scheme that interlaces with an adjoining Tercet. They may have variable meter.

There are several rhyming options, which makes the Tercet very versatile:

aba bcb ded

aba cbc dbd

aab ccb ddb

abb acc add

aba aba aba

aab aac aad

aaa bbb ccc

For this poem, I chose aab ccb ddb
This poem's meter is: 4/4/7 4/4/7 4/4/7
