I can’t guarantee that, but I do like to challenge myself sometimes, so perhaps that keeps me thinking. Of course, I don’t know where I set my keys, though. Last time I lost them, they were later found in the bathroom sink!
Carole, every time I read one of your works I always learn something new. Not only are your poems and writing interesting and entertaining, but educational.
Well done and everybody loves the trees. Have you ever tried to make your own poetic form? I'm not doubting the validiy of the tretina, just wondering if I could try to scheme out some new poetic forms like it has only one line and a half syllable or 8 lines of palindromes only beginning with the letter "e", maybe the kind of poem schemes only quantum physicists could write...
I actually do that quite frequently, make my own form, but I don’t have names for them. I actually didn’t know about a tretina before I did some research into forms—there are tons!
I never heard of tretina before I read yours, truth be told. I can imagine people have been making them up since they started being able to write so there must be an entire encyclopedia's worth of them to document and somebody would publish a book on them all.
I’m sure there are many books, but there are also endless lists in poetry sites online. This is probably why so many people just write free-form verse, so they don’t have to follow any rules.
Thanks, Fred! It’s been unusually foggy these days (and nights). I was driving up north in Michigan over the weekend and it was had to know where the road was. It’s a good thing they had big arrows where there were major curves!
So true, Carole. Instead of ground fog, up here we saw a lot of steam rising off the lake on supercold days. Far out on the distance you could see heavy veils of mist pulling water up into the clouds for future lake-effect snow!
If I just follow your poems, I believe my brain will be immune to any cognitive decline. AND I love your photos.

Nicely done. A worthy introduction to the tretina for me.
Thank you, Loren. It’s my first foray into this form, and I just happened to think up three words that are sort of connected. Another mind bender!

Thanks for reading and restacking, Kathleen! This was another little experiment.
You’re welcome, Carole
Love it! LOVE IT! Oh, the message is a fantastic one, Carole! Really liking this form as well.
MUCH LOVE! ~Wendy💜
Love this. The first photo of the fog surrounding the tree is deeply lovely
