Alankar(Decor)-240 Poem by Indira Renganathan

The Triquain, found in Berg's Pathways for the Poet 1977 appears to be an attempt at combining the haiku
and Crapsey cinquain. It was created by L. Stanley Cheney and referred to in both the Caulkins' Handbook and Pathways.
This form comes a little closer to the purpose of haiku than some other haiku wannabees.
There is another invented form also called a Triquain that appeared on the internet about 25 years later
written in a syllabic heptastich.

The Triquain is:
a tristich, a poem in 3 lines. It is composed in 3 units, L1 introduces the subject,
L2 expands and leads into action,
L3 is the enlightenment or question.
syllabic, with 2-7-7 syllable count per line.
Titled, unlike the haiku.

Milk or mother does she want?

Zephyr, gales, lightning, rumblings
Hooray, nature's crescendoes
