The impolite night

tritina

A “tritina” style of poem is a contraction of the sestina to three stanzas of three lines (tercets), with a one-line envoy. The order of the line-ending words follows the same pattern as that of the sestina, so that they appear: 123, 312, 231 with the envoy as 123.

That night was impolite,
for it led to thinking in a manner,knotted
for my thoughts were the night’s colour, livid.

Regretful actions take place in a state of livid.
Introspective actions take place in a night impolite.
Revengeful actions take place in a way knotted.

A wish to not be knotted.
a few years since that night,born out of my livid,
but life is not a wish granting factory, it is impolite.

Because , they die with me, my impolite,knotted and livid.
