Sailing Ships

I sat alone upon the shore watching ships sailing in the sky White schooners flying in rapport I sat alone upon the shore listening to the ocean's roar cumulous clouds were drifting by I sat alone upon the shore watching ships sailing in the sky August 20, 2022 Triolet Contest Sponsor: Joseph May

Jenna, I still have much to learn from yourself and others about forms like this one (a triolet?). But having spent the better part of a 20-year Naval career at sea I'm in love with the imagery and rhythm of this wonderful piece you've penned. Cheerios:)

We all have much to learn from trying new forms, Terry. That's quite an impressive service history, so I thank you for honoring your country. I hope it's honored you. I appreciate your thoughtful review.

Good one, Jenna. I really like triolets and write quite a few of them. Love your rhymes and your triolet really flows well. Good luck in the contest.

I haven't written many using the Triolet form but they're not that difficult. Thanks for your comments. Milt.
