a strangled sound like a lawnmower stuck on a plastic toy.

Beautiful.

I saw this on facebook and loved it.

My only question is why tercets? I ask this not because I'm questioning your form, but because I've been struggling so much with form in my own poems... I feel like I would have made this a prose poem or something... but it (obviously!) works this way too. How are we supposed to know these things?

Eeh, don't have a good answer for this. The poem needed more space on the page? this form makes for greater pauses.
