Bombing of Gaza

Bombs Away.
The Bombing of Gaza.
Total destruction is the goal
Angry retribution
All must Die
The Tritriplicata is a form invented by Arjan Tupan based on the number 3. The structure consists of five lines focused on an image with syllable counts in multiples of three: 3, 6, 9, 6, 3, for a total of 27, as described and demonstrated in the following link: https://www.poetrymagnumopus.com/topic/1003-mathematics-merges-with-verse/#tritr...
The Tritriplicata is an invented by Arjan Tupan, "Story Teller, Cross Pollinator, and Ideator" from Papenveer, Nederland, that focuses on 3 to the power of 3 or 3 times 9 = 27. This form has a total of 27 syllables. Tupan notes one reason for his focus on the number 3, "The poet, the poem and the reader, a tripartite force that empowers meaning."

The elements of the tritriplicata are:
1. a pentastich, a poem in 5 lines
2. syllabic, syllables per line, 3-6-9-6-3 = 27 syllables total
3. imagist in that the poem should be a snapshot image
4. composed with turn or volta
