Rob Carmack Poet Triolet

A Sweet Duet

A little game I have for you.
Let’s sing a song of triolet.
Eight syllables, iambic too.
A little game I have for you.
It isn’t all that hard to do.
Will my friend Rob come out to play?
A little game I have for you.
Let’s sing a song of triolet.

Of course, this game I’ll play with you.
A sandbox sweet duet in tune.
A mound of sand our stage debut.
Of course, this game I’ll play with you.
With every encore made anew,
this friendship shades the afternoon.
Of course, this game I’ll play with you.
A sandbox sweet duet in tune.
