Trios & Tripartites

Working in 3s

When organizing poetry into a series or larger manuscript, I often write in tripartites: maybe 3 short lyric poems or 3 sections of a longer poem. Containment.

Thinking in 3s also helps to structure a necklace series providing limitations to possibilities. Boundaries. The 3 Jade Fish (below) are available @ Etsy | ZygosDesign.

Magic of 3: a triangular parameter and numerological challenge for me — a defined numerical pathway that helps me contain creative chaos.
