Overload (syntuit)

by Larry Chamberlin   Apr 2, 2015


Multitasking means
cluttering head with so much
don't know where you are

Syntuit
A three line poem. Like a syllogism the first two lines build a statement which are concluded in the third line. Like a Senryu or a Haiku it is comprised of 17 syllables and the third line is an intuitive departure from the first two lines rather than a logical conclusion from them, as a syllogism would have been. Unlike either the Senryu or the Haiku, the Syntuit is not limited to physical description or observations. It may be philosophical, thoughtful, ironic, or whimsical. It is not limited to themes regarding nature or humanity.

      I made up the form in desperation. See my thread on the subject.

      Men or women who are ADD are the best multitaskers!
