requests a triolet. Rules and
restrictions seem to stifle the poet
in me, but here’s the old school
try, written with the concept that
trioilet rhymes with way. Now, if
it actually rhymes with toilet, I’m
obviously in a heap of trouble!

So it’s to be a triolet
Write eight lines and pray
Try to make some sense of it
It’s, after all, a triolet
No need to chose a theme
There’s hardly time to scheme
When you write a triolet
With only eight lines to say
If one skips all the repetitions there are only five lines to say anything. Good point.
ReplyDeleteSometimes, eight lines says a lot.
ReplyDeleteI love the honesty of your short, sweet triolet, Bev!
ReplyDeleteSuch delightful charm in eight simple line.
ReplyDeleteI still like the triolet :)
ReplyDeleteWow, never thought to use the actual type of poetry as the poem's subject. Very clever.
ReplyDeleteFun little triolet ditty, Beverly.
ReplyDeleteI think toilet is a good word for poetry... at least if you are a fan of Duchamps
ReplyDeleteI sometimes think of Duchamp's "Fountain" when I see some abstract art, wondering if it's a tongue-in-cheek spoof, or actual art!
