Tercet Poems | Tercet Examples

Where lies the line, between humility and pride, when does ambition become greed. How short is the distance, from disapproval to wrath, between admiration and envy. How easy is it to turn, infatuation to lust, indulgence into gluttony. Will we know when, relaxation becomes sloth, or when a flower becomes just a weed....

Joyful spirit, bright and bold, Outstanding tales yet to unfold, Sunlight's warmth, a story told. Elegant grace, a gentle sway, Poetry's dance in bright display, Harmony's song to light the way. Inner strength, a radiant gleam, Nurturing dreams, a flowing stream, Eternal hope, a vibrant theme. ©bfa031925 Acrostic in Tercets (Birthday of Josephine G. Morales) ...

The mind hangs in silence, All is stilled, thoughts lingering Lazily, as if in cosmic animation; No words drip from the faucet that once Streamed waters of creation, and now is Only empty air passing over an idle lexis; How deceiving is the thought, idle mind:- A dormant volcano creates its explosive flow Does not the idle mind quietly stream likewise?! There’s no creation...

Out of the womb of seedless water came her birth, And no less than always has been her silent beauty; Radiant essence, crowning the earth’s heavenly throne:- She’s a special reflective bouquet of God’s creativity; Mothering sun smoothing each of her rays into its chosen place As her regal dome challenges the matter of her crowning magnanimity:- Her celestial realm is...

Colors now shimmer in golden, backlit mist where blue hydrangeas and red roses coexist Purples and oranges adore a fresh morning. Flighty trouble has, at last, gone away, riled Since the mellow hour, my sunshine smiled The green and pink birds are finally soaring! Naturally, nature must love beauty so much To shower flowers with silver, gold and such Does pearly dew, gladden...

Fresh ocean air Oh, take me there! To the place below the hill Three hundred years I hold it dear Ancestors can be felt still For all I've roamed My heart knows home And it cannot get it's fill How does it long! For ancient song And the view from mine own sill A seat of peace My mind's at ease Oh, the terrors a place can kill Soon I'll...

Back when we would walk in the spring-green wood Holding hands, hearts joined only as lovers can Thoughts circle round those days in the deep wildwood Now aged, bent way past young adulthood Young love comes in glimpses in this lifespan Longing for Jesus' relief of my orphanhood...

Grateful and content That we get not all we want To spend the present, Feeling always glad-- By so doing even more Happiness we add. And when dawns the day, O fallen fairy on ground, That scent of decay And beauty of thine With that heavenly fragrance Fuels my face all day. In garden of life Ye Jasmine are a poet That says O where’s strife! ________________ Tercet |08.03.2025| flowers...

It’s not what’s outside In life, ye tell me, Jasmine, But only inside That matters much more, As many a thing in life, What matters is core, And ye also tell That there’s joy in simplest things, Plain simple’s thy spell, Cestrum Nocturnum, At night thy immense passion Spreads forth, what blossom! ____________________ ...

When all world’s asleep Thou waketh, Jasmine, so doth Scent of thine from deep, Dies when the sunlight, Ye spread in the dark of night Thy hidden delight. Thy heartbeats, so faint, No doctor hath ever heard, Which, for Moon are meant. Thy scent O Jasmine Captivates me till I wake From its spell at dawn. _________________ Haiku |06.03.2025| flowers Note: Night-blossoming jasmines never fail to...
