~My Triolet~ (A Double Triolet) Triolets come in many forms for fun To try sometimes with them right here my hand Ten or eight syllables can choose to count Triolets come in many forms for fun Ten lines here to write which I just begun Till one by one in the right place they land Triolets come in many forms for fun That goes so well with all I just did plan Line by line I just follow all the rules Syllable count is all my own affair A dare that is all up to me truly Line by line I just follow all the rules Then write a triolet that is so cool Make it dance and make it sing a prayer Line by line I just follow all the rules Syllable count is all my own affair.

Hello Dear One "D" -- A Very Happy New Year to you from Ingrid and me. You've rendered "My Triolet" in a most exquisite way. (I believe I wrote a couple of these over a year ago or so.) This is such a masterpiece work from a true poetic artist -- YOU!! TR/FAV for sure in my book!! Happy New Year Wishes again . . . "G " (P.S. I posted my first poem today for 2017: "Dreams Divine." You might like the uplifting nature of its heavenly message.) Cheers, "G"

this is really cool, Dorian. I recall when I first started practicing this form. I'd take sometimes up to three hours trying to get it right. Yes, I love to do both ways too, 8 syllables or ten. Very nice.
