[This poem, a TRIONET, is a poetry form I invented. It adds to the traditional Triolet a second stanza (of 6 lines similar to a 14-line Sonnet) repeating lines indicated in the rhyme scheme. The rhyme scheme is ABaAabAB AAABBb.]
My generation’s finest hours have passed Now, I am afraid we are too old to lead For the most part, our time was a blast My generation’s finest hours have passed Question is, how much longer can we last Before the curtain rains down on our breed My generation’s finest hours have passed Now, I am afraid we are too old to lead. My generation’s finest hours have passed For the most part, our time was a blast Question is, how much longer can we last Before the curtain rains down on our breed Now, I am afraid we are too old to lead All we can do, perhaps, is plant a new seed.
