Three Touches(Reverse Threesome Sonnet)

A Reverse Threesome Sonnet is the reverse form
of the threesome sonnet having the reverse
stanza-patterns 2,3,4, and 5 lines of a couplet,
a tercet, a quatrain, and a cinquain respectively

Meter: Pentameter
Rhyme scheme for the last stanza(5lines) only
a b c b a

The word three should be used in the title
necessarily anywhere in the first or the last or
in between place of the title suitably

The last stanza should hold a meaningful conclusion
connecting the three different matters said
in the first three stanzas

This is my second invented work


Three Touches

When the first rain drop touches mother earth
Rain drop and earth, how they feel, can you say

A new born baby's touch on its mother
Mother's touch, baby's touch, a bonding touch
Mother and babe, how they feel can you say

The dulcet breeze just ripples through the leaves
So to dance both in gentle sway of steps
To the silent notes of their song in hush
Breeze and leaves, how they feel then, can you say

Say so, a touch has no voice hence can't talk
Just it gives a feel in contact so close
Say so, touches like said above divine
Prove to be good when felt in heart so close
Unlike touches bad that give us bad shock
