New Forms (15): The Triversen

Thanks are due to Bernard Jackson in Alan J. Carter's Quantum Leap poetry magazine (issue no.61, Feb. 2013) for drawing my attention to this form. Bernard describes it as a 'loose' form with cadent capabilities.

Background to the Triversen

William Carlos Williams is associated with the Triversen - or 'triple-verse-sentence' form.
