Usually, this poem is center aligned when displayed. The first triplet has 1, 2, and 3 syllables. The title of the poem is the one-syllable word of the
first triplet, which is displayed in all capital letters. This line is followed by a two-syllable line,
and then there is a three-syllable line, both of which clarifies the definition of the poem, or is a synonym for the title.
The second triplet has 5, 6, and 7 syllables. Its design is based around a life event contained
within the triplet which helps give a poetic view or outlook on the first line (title).

word (title).

Chewing Gum-- ABCdarian
Chewing Gum
Already
Been
Chewed gum—yuck I can’t get it off my shoe!
Darn these
Espadrilles Aunt
Fiona
Gus sighed
How is it that
I always manage to attract these sticky problems?
Just give me the damn phone
Kool-Aid’s fine by the way.
Let me just make this call
My cousin phoned he thinks the world owes him.
Now where is that number?
Oh-here it is
PU3-8879
Quite the situation
Really burns my butt
So stupid
That one, he still can’t get a job let alone walk and chew gum.
Unskilled and unorganized
Vacant, vain, vegetable
Worthless, wallowing, walrus
XY misfit, xenophobe
Yowling, yokel
Zigzagging through life like a zombie—SHIT-it’s busy!

Refrigerator Logic--Six-word Memoirs
Rest in peace, once green veggie.
Activia rules in this frigid closet.
Shut the door, there’s a draft!
Cold closet seeking, warm leftover companion.
Be quiet, the eggs are sleeping!
Age matters, step to the front.
Seal your wrappers, eliminate dry rot.
Old dark companions, foment strange odors.
Soda shoots off mouth, fizzes out.
Check ice tray weekly, for blockage.
Sponsoring green—penicillin, apply in rear.
