The following is a Poem form referenced in the September 2016 Writer’s Digest Poetic Asides column by Robert Lee Brewer:

POETIC FORM: TRICUBE

The tricube is a newer form introduced by acclaimed Sacramento poet Phillip Larrea. A mathematical poem, the tricube makes up for its lack of history simply by being a fun and addictive form to write.

The math is simple: three syllables per line x three lines per stanza x three stanzas per poem = one tricube.

Here’s my attempt at the tricube.

Flying

Blue skies with
puffy white
and pink clouds

Sandcastles
of heaven
I see through

a window
It is God
in pure skies
