Paul Callus Poet Triolet

Notes About The Poem

Riding With Dolphins

I ride with dolphins on their back
Away from land into the blue
We’re free to roam, no beaten track
I ride with dolphins on their back
Sense of adventure I don’t lack
Where this will lead I have no clue
I ride with dolphins on their back
Away from land into the blue

With leaping dolphins I ride far
Away from land into the blue
Our guides the sun and evening star
With leaping dolphins I ride far
Where mermaids sing and eat caviar
In awe I watch the ocean view
With leaping dolphins I ride far
Away from land into the blue

I ride with dolphins far and wide
Away from land into the blue
The water frolics by my side
I ride with dolphins far and wide
And watch the seagulls as they glide
To worldly ties I bid adieu
I ride with dolphins far and wide
Away from land into the blue

Chris Hagy October 2, 2016 at 6:34 PM Glad I scrolled back to read this Paul...beautifully captivating write! Paul Callus October 4, 2016 at 4:50 PM Thank you for liking, Chris. The Triolet form can be a useful tool in some special cases, such as this one, where repetition is meant to enhance the poem's flow. Best regards // paul
