L Milton Hankins Poet Triolet

Lavender Is Blooming

The meadow has come alive in vibrant hues
Lavender is blooming, accented with yarrow
And small ground flowers are showing blues
The meadow has come alive in vibrant hues
Columbine and alyssum are taking their cues
From insistent chirping of a chipping sparrow
The meadow has come alive in vibrant hues
Lavender is blooming, accented with yarrow.

You should try the triolet. It is really easy, so easy I sometimes think when I've written one I am a lazy poet. Out of the eight lines, five are repeated and the other lines are monochrome. It's based on only two rhymes. I wish you would try it. Fairies would be a very appropriate subject. In fact, I'm tempted....
