Skinny (no skin involved)

[spacedlaw]

The Skinny was created by Truth Thomas in the literary crucible of the Tony Medina Poetry Workshop at Howard University.
A Skinny is a short poem in eleven lines.

The first and eleventh lines can be any length. All the others are just one word.
The eleventh and last line must be repeated using the same words from the first and opening line (but not necessarily in the same order).
The second, sixth, and tenth lines must be identical.

Truth has built a blog where she published the form

I find the form fascinating.
My favourite is “Fall” by Shloka Shankar

 

And here's mine, in English and some sort of translation in French.

Have also some celebratory sunrise:
