Andrea Dietrich 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.

Co-authored with my sweet friend Rob Carmack

Funom Makama June 4, 2015 at 9:47 AM What a marvelous read from a blessed paged built on lines constructed with the lyrics of the skies and words well supported by dynamic foamy clouds. Message well expressed! No doubt an absolute 7##.

Diane Christian June 4, 2015 at 9:30 AM Beautiful write . I don't mind sharing My testimonies. My parents split up when I was 13. My dad had a breakdown but recovered. Life was hard when I got married I thought things would change but my husband became a compulsive gambler I left and had a broken relationship after 13 years. Got re married to a Christian and even he changed and made death threats. Since then have moved forward never looked back, I work in care And the hours fitting in great, loads of time to do thing to poetry
