PROMPT OF THE DAY – today,i challenge you to write a poem in terza rima.this form was invented by Dante,and used in The Divine Comedy.it consists of three-line stanzas,with a chained rhyme scheme. the first stanza is ABA,the second is BCB,the third is CDC,and so on.no particular meter is necessary but english poets have tended to default to iambic pentameter.one common way of ending a terza rima poem is with a single line standing on its own,rhyming with the middle line of the preceding three-line stanza.happy writing.

and my arms, and the ground, and your crashes ;
– yet so close to my own internal cold war ..
and his arms, and the ground, and her crashes
and i would run dry, and you would allow for ;
– yet so apart from me, yet so close to you ..
and their futures left at the discount store
but since the time i was fourteen -and you too .
