Autumn’s palette of terracotta, mustard and rust
the old pickup left a trail of dust

An eagle soars high above the tall pine trees
gone are the stings of bees

A moose quietly makes his own tracks
trees fall with the sound of an axe

Squirrels gathering nuts for winter
a woodsman has a splinter

The secluded cabin is warm and cozy
in the darkness howls a coyote

This week, break the couple.    Write a poem incorporating one of these couplets.

Choose one:
Broken Couplet — disrupt the expected relationship between the two lines.

Split Couplet — experiment with a longer first line and a shorter second line.

Hinged Couplet — let the second line turn, transform, or change the meaning of the first.
