I hold the keys to your heart
But afraid to choose one
For I only have this last chance
Spent a lifetime to get a chance
Poured my soul— my whole heart
Love, you are my only one
Let my heart and yours be one
Take my hand, give this love a chance
Hear my voice— my beating heart
With these keys I’ll gamble my heart; love, give me one last chance.
Poetry Form: Tetrina
Day 7: Today, write a tritina. The tritina is a shorter cousin to the sestina, involving three, three-line stanzas, and a final concluding line. Three “end words” are used to conclude the lines of each stanza, in a set pattern of ABC, CAB, BCA, and all three end words appear together in the final line.

Sweet tritina, Maria. And that last line, ended it perfectly.

Seems like it’s a good gamble for your character, one she’ll be sorry if she doesn’t take. I think she knows the key to his heart is hers 🙂
