Notes About The Poem

Poetic Triplet

A tercet in which all three lines follow the same rhyme, a a a, b b b, etc.

One Roll of the Dice

When you asked me to the school dance I thought, wow, this is my one chance to experience true romance Your smile just made my dream come true for I've always felt drawn to you but never guessed you'd like me too I'm walking around on cloud nine like I drank a bottle of wine and can't wait to post it online. This is the happiest I've been I’m wowed, if you know what I mean, then I checked my computer screen. You were playing a joke on me and posted it, so all could see just how gullible I could be You then tried to apologize but though you had tears in your eyes, it was a fruitless exercise. You may fool me once, but not twice that one time will have to suffice you’ve had your one roll of the dice. (Poetic Triplet) 8/27/2018
