Foolish Man's Plight

Spending money on a worthless doodad Caught his eye like a red-blinking light, Reminded him of something he never had Spending money on a worthless doodad. Later, buyer’s remorse made him feel bad Too late, he realized a foolish man’s plight, Spending money on a worthless doodad Caught his eye like a red-blinking light. Too late, he realized a foolish man’s plight It’s money burning a hole in his pocket, Impulsive spending without foresight Too late, he realized a foolish man’s plight. Stupid behavior often comes back to bite Driving his car, for example, like a rocket, Too late, he realized a foolish man’s plight It’s money burning a hole in his pocket. (Interlocking Triolet)

So many worthless doodads have captured my attention. I need to tape the word worthless doodad to my rearview mirror to look at before I park at a store.

Splendid humorous Triolet, Milton. I have not seen this form of Triolet before, I must try it sometime. // Barry.

I hope you will, Barry. I first discovered the interlocking triolet reading Emile Pinet's work. I developed my own combination of a triolet and a sonnet, which I call a trionet. I love to play around with poetry forms. I find it challenging. Enjoy. Thanks so much.
