never able to love and obey
always going her own way
damn fiddler to pay
every day
own
wielding machete, she hacked her way
all would-be white knights, she slayed
damn fiddler to pay
everyday
sown
now body worn out and hair of gray
feet planted in self-made clay
damn fiddler to pay
every day

On the Fringe of Darkness 
did you deliberately use the word “fiddle” instead of “fiddler” in the second stanza, Jai? And – is this a particular form, or something that came to you in this form?

Fiddle in the 2nd stanza was a mistake…thanks for letting me know, David; it’s now fixed.
The trinquint was created by Sylvia A. Feeley. I frequently visit this site: http://www.shadowpoetry.com when looking for a new form to try out. I’ve yet to attempt to create one myself. 💜
