WHEN I’M SOBER

Terza rima, hendecasyllabic,

a style of three-lined stanzas

where each middle line rhymes

with the first and third lines

of the next tercet.

No poetic form is too complex.

I am determined to always claim

freedom

for experimentation . . .

but I still love wildly shaped verses too,

and imaginative stories told in prose,

with hurricanes of words

about the world,

not just my own

explosive

emotions.
