Tedious Triolet

I think I’ll write a triolet
With tedious repeated lines
Can’t think of unique words today 
I think I’ll write a triolet
I find them banal anyway
To me their formation confines
I think I’ll write a triolet
With tedious repeated lines

Cheryl Koko Koomoa Date: 6/5/2016 6:25:00 AM You made me smile! I loved it! Login to Reply Jan Allison Date: 6/5/2016 9:29:00 AM Thanks Cheryl - I am sure there are people who like the style but I find it pretty boring - the line in Banjo's poem 'it makes bad writers somewhat worse' really made me smile:-) hugs Jan xx

CayCay Jennings Date: 6/4/2016 10:40:00 PM You show off! How I thrive on sarcasm, the more clever, the better. Well done ... CayCay Login to Reply Jan Allison Date: 6/5/2016 3:34:00 AM LOL Cay Cay I know Andrea has written many of this form and as she does it so well she can be forgiven ... but I do find them boring (but don't tell her will you lol)

Andrea Dietrich Date: 6/3/2016 9:52:00 PM hahaha. Only you I will let get away with dissing this awesome poetry form!!! Login to Reply Jan Allison Date: 6/3/2016 10:38:00 PM AWESOMELY bad form lol - behave woman! :-):-):-) hugs Jan xx

Don Kubicki Date: 6/3/2016 5:45:00 PM Very nice. It is hard to improve on perfection. Login to Reply Jan Allison Date: 6/3/2016 5:52:00 PM I will never achieve perfection (well I will never admit if I do lol) hugs jan xx

Charlotte Puddifoot Date: 6/3/2016 5:34:00 PM lol i don't like them either, jan, though this is probably as good as they get! i'm not a fan of repetitive forms, but may try one of these one day... Login to Reply Jan Allison Date: 6/3/2016 5:51:00 PM I appreciate some people excel at these repetitive forms but i find a poem with 5 of the 8 lines are repeated pretty dull to be honest - I have to admit I laughed when I read the poem by Banjo Paterson especially the line it makes bad writers somewhat worse lol :-) hugs Jan xx

Maurice Rigoler Date: 6/3/2016 2:10:00 PM Right on, Jan with the triolet! Just don't have the patience for poetry forms like that. Thanks for the stop by. Login to Reply Jan Allison Date: 6/3/2016 3:44:00 PM I don't think they are particularly skillfully written poems 5 of 8 lines repeated - definitely will not be a fave form with me ever lol:-) hugs jan xx

Ilene Bauer Date: 6/3/2016 1:43:00 PM you've captured exactly how i feel about this type of poem, jan (as has banjo paterson). nice one! Login to Reply Jan Allison Date: 6/3/2016 3:45:00 PM Thanks Ilene when I read Banjo's poem I had to agree with what he had written although i think my poem is more boring than his lol:-) hugs Jan xx

Wilfred Aniagyei Date: 6/3/2016 11:39:00 AM You did write a Triolet, Jan, in a rather tantalizing manner as well....... I enjoyed this Login to Reply Jan Allison Date: 6/3/2016 11:41:00 AM Thanks Wilfred - when I saw Banjo's witty poem about this form I had to write one too lol :-) hugs Jan xx

Casarah Nance Date: 6/3/2016 10:38:00 AM This is a clever take on the form. Sometimes it does become tedious to repeat lines. This is a clever take on the form. It sure does reinforce an idea.

Tim Smith Date: 6/3/2016 8:09:00 AM Very funny Jan...i wonder if there are any famous poems written in Triolet form Login to Reply Jan Allison Date: 6/3/2016 8:44:00 AM I think Thomas Hardy wrote in this form Tim but apart from that I am not sure:-) hugs Jan xx Jan Allison Date: 6/3/2016 8:14:00 AM When I found the poem by Banjo Paterson I had to write a poem in agreement lol:-) I just find the repeated lines tedious but this is my opinion I know others enjoy writing them. I think this is only the second one I've written its just not a form I enjoy:-) hugs Jan xx
