This poem is a Sapphonic Triad
A Sapphonic Triad is a format created by our own Ciliverde, and named by Pantygynt. It consists of three parts (the triad) - a two line quotation (Free verse but max total of sixteen syllables - must be concise and memorable), followed by a quatrain of four lines each of four syllables, and finally an 8-4-6 syllable envoi that moves us on somewhere...it should have a "satori" feeling. It is called Sapphonic due to its similarity to the female, ancient Greek poet Sappho, who was famous for her clever, short poetic works.
