POET'S NOTES

Triolet is one of my least favourite poetry forms as outlined in this poem!

However, as this is Andrea's first contest in a very long time  I wanted to support her 

 

 

In forest glens and wild hedgerows, a sweet scent stirs on zephyr breeze White lily of the valley grows in forest glens and wild hedgerows; parks, gardens and in lush meadows I love to wander past tall trees in forest glens and wild hedgerows a sweet scent stirs on zephyr breeze checked with PS counter, 8 syllables per line Celebrate May with a Triolet (tree-o-lay) Poetry Contest Sponsor Andrea Dietrich 5/3/19

The lily of the valley has a lovely scent and you chose well for the subject of your Triolet Jan. I have disliked this form so much I have never written one until today because I wanted to support her contest too. Your poem is really lovely Jan and I am sure it will place high. You and hubby are in my prayers. Hugs, Connie xxoo
