A Shot In My Eye

today I
got a shot
in my eye

it’s what I
have to do
keep my sight

I have wet
AMD
in one eye

we all have
our cross to
bear, dear hearts

I hate it
but love to
have my sight

Write a tricube poem in as many multiples of three-line stanzas as you wish. MIf you write a freestyle poem, you must include a syllabic form with it.
