  1. Tercets are any three lines of poetry. • They can be in the form of a stanza or a poem, rhymed or unrhymed, and metered or unmetered. Tercet By: Brooke Lynch

  2. Tercets do not necessarily have accented and unaccented syllables. • There are various forms of tercets such as: • Haiku • Enclosed tercet (a triplet that rhymes “aba,” if written in iambic pentameter then it is called a siciliantercet) • TerzaRima(seen in Dante’s Inferno) with “ababcbcdcded” rhyming • Villanelle • Terzanelle

  3. Examples of tercets: One Art The art of losing isn’t hard to master, So many things seem filled with the intent To be lost that their loss is no disaster. Lose something every day. Accept the fluster Of lost door keys, the hour badly spent. The art of losing isn’t hard to master. Then practice losing farther, losing faster, Places , and names and where it was you meant To travel. None of these will bring disaster. I lost my mother’s watch. And look! My last, or Next-to-last, of three loved houses went. The art of losing isn’t hard to master I lost two cities, lovely one. And, vaster, Some realms I owned, two rivers, a continent. I miss them, but it wasn’t a disaster. --Even losing you (the joking voice, a gesture I love) I shan’t have lied. It’s evident The art of losing’s not too hard to master Though it may look like (Write it!) like disaster. Villanelle: • Haiku: I would lie down drunk on a bed of stone covered with soft pinks blooming. No title, by Damon McLaughlin • Normal tercet: • I am a yellow dog • who wishes he was • a purple-spotted frog. • No title, by Damon McLaughlin

  4. My own tercet: Slowly the leaves fall On the dampened, earthy ground Winter is coming.
