SB: It's The Little Things

NaPoWriMo Challenge Prompt Week 7:

Our prompt for Week Seven comes to us from Gloria Gonsalves, who challenges us all to write a tritina. The tritina is a shorter cousin to the sestina, involving three, three-line stanzas, and a final concluding line. Three “end words” are used to conclude the lines of each stanza, in a set pattern of ABC, CAB, BCA, and all three end words appear together in the final line.


It is the little things,
That catch you unaware,
And make you smile.

This number 3 smile,
Because of these small things,
To which before I was unaware.

Completely unaware,
How much I could smile,
Over little things.

I guess I was unaware that it is the little things that will incite the biggest smile.

SB is a conflicted soul of sorts, who is mad enough to go chase after what she really loves as opposed to conform to society and her mother's idea of a successful person. She prays she makes it in life, because she will not be able to tolerate the nagging that would follow if she doesn't. Her inspiration comes from everything around her, as well as made up situations in her head. Good luck distinguishing between the two.
