Spring Is Nearing

The meadow is beginning to stir ever so slightly Tinges of new green growth in tiny buds appearing The dying browns of winter are still unsightly The meadow is beginning to stir ever so slightly, And I, I am taking a new, fresh look, forthrightly In this fascinating meadow I find so endearing, The meadow is beginning to stir ever so slightly Tinges of new green growth in tiny buds appearing. The dying browns of winter are still unsightly [but] The meadow is beginning to stir ever so slightly, And I, I am taking a new, fresh look, forthrightly In this fascinating meadow I find so endearing Tinges of new green growth in tiny buds appearing, An exhilarating high, knowing that spring is nearing.
written February 23, 2022 [This is a "trionet," which combines the 14 lines and features of a sonnet with the repetition of lines in a triolet. A poetry format I invented]

That’s really very nice. I am really becoming a fan of these forms that repeat lines. They just read so nicely!

Thank you so much, Jeff. I'm a particular fan of the triolet, which I then adapted into a trionet, as I explained. I love the effect of the rhyming throughout, too. I'm glad you like them. You should give the trionet a try!
