Notes About The Poem

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

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

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)

Very nice. It is hard to improve on perfection.

I will never achieve perfection (well I will never admit if I do lol) hugs jan xx

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...

Jan Allison

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

Right on, Jan with the triolet! Just don't have the patience for poetry forms like that. Thanks for the stop by.

Jan Allison

June 3, 2016 at 3:44 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

you've captured exactly how i feel about this type of poem, jan (as has banjo paterson). nice one!

Jan Allison

June 3, 2016 at 3:45 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

You did write a Triolet, Jan, in a rather tantalizing manner as well....... I enjoyed this

Jan Allison

June 3, 2016 at 11:41 AM

Thanks Wilfred - when I saw Banjo's witty poem about this form I had to write one too lol :-) hugs Jan xx

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. Sometimes it does become tedious to repeat lines. what a good triolet thought. this is a clever take on the form. :) :) hugs and hugs is worth repeating... hugs x

Very funny Jan...i wonder if there are any famous poems written in Triolet form

Jan Allison

June 3, 2016 at 8:44 AM

I think Thomas Hardy wrote in this form Tim but apart from that I am not sure:-) hugs Jan xx

Jan Allison

June 3, 2016 at 8:14 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
