Saturdays In the Park

I remember those Saturdays in the park We picnicked and played the live-long day, As I recall, nothing seemed ominous or stark I remember those Saturdays in the park, Softball, horseshoes, badminton ‘til dark Seems life was filled up with fun and play I remember those Saturdays in the park, We picnicked and played the live-long day.

I remember them too. They were marvelous. It is cool to see you doing more triolet. I remember learning of them around 2007. And I wrote a bunch during that time

Oh, I've been writing them for years. I sort of think of them as lazy poetry because they are so easy. Then, of course, I developed my trionet form. It's a triolet/sonnet. It's listed under New Poetry Types, I think. Thanks, Andrea.

I'll bet you think of those times, too, with a happy heart, Tom. Thanks for the comment.

Kim, I thank you. I suspect most of us remember such good times when we were growing up.
