L Milton Hankins Poet Triolet

A Changing Day

Today was a wonderful day, though it was cloudy,
It started out being mundane, dull, and uneventful
When someone close to me came by to say howdy
Today was a wonderful day, though it was cloudy.
Then, we decided to take a ride, nothing rowdy
We spoke of losing our spouses, rather resentful,
Today was a wonderful day, though it was cloudy
It started out being mundane, dull, and uneventful.

Sotto Poet July 31, 2021 at 6:02 PM Milton, you have created a fantastic triolet. I appreciate the flow and the excellent language, especially this line: "It started out being mundane, dull, and uneventful." L Milton Hankins July 31, 2021 at 6:07 PM Thank you, Lasaad. Yes,occasionally, a small thing can happen which changes the mood of a day completely.
