The writing prompt is to write two poems, one form poem and one anti-form poem. I may have mixed both together to write my two poems. The first poem is a shape but doesn’t follow conventional poetic forms. The second is a tricube, which is three syllables, three lines, and three stanzas. I played with it a little and linked three tricube poems together to tell a story.
I made this first poem with Canva. It has no title yet.
Here’s my anti-form poem:

Here’s my second poem.
Lost in Time by Alissa Dedic
Revolver
unknown loss
one morning
in the field
he found you
one morning
in the grass
skeleton
revolver
metal bones
Lost
useful tool
companion
protector
lost somewhere
in the field
seen no more
did he look
take notice
when you fell
Time
wind and rain
decay wood
to dust, dirt
you sit watch
sun rises up
sun sets down
days to years
tale untold
he found you
