Zeffery

Zeffery, is a made up word by UK writer Dave Ashley. It was given as a prompt, without an assigned meaning. I interpreted it to mean to gather/ meet. Zeffery is written in Triolet form.

when the critters of air, meet with the creatures of earth

to consider the continuation of humanity, many leave in despair

amid claims the time has come, to commission dirges about dirt

when the critters of air, meet with the creatures of earth

it is for the biannual zeffery. Those of air arrive, munching on mirth

prepared to extend benelovance. The mud bound remain weary of repair

when the critters of air, meet with the creatures of earth

to consider the continuation of humanity, many leave in despair
