I Am Anaya Poet Triolet

Notes About The Poem

In my mind it started out as a piece on space dark energy and it's black magic—the straight jacket; Milton's form, restricted my mind meandering into dark Goya medieval and poof!  Revelations. The theme is, poets veering into that dark territory.

A Trionet is a form created by LMilton Hankins.   A two-stanza poem. The first stanza follows the rules for a standard triolet of eight (8) lines  ABaAabAB (capital letters are repeated lines). The second stanza consists of six (6) lines, formed with five (5) lines repeated from the first stanza and adding an appropriate non-repeated rhyming last line with a rhyme scheme of AAABBb.

Second Place

The Baneful Sonnets Doom

Dark energy spreads ink across the universe, 
dripping scarlet liquid fated by black magic. 
As the wheels spin poets' necromantic verse,
dark energy spreads ink across the universe,  
and trumpeting angels’ mighty blasts rehearse.
The baneful sonnets doom driven by tragic.
Dark energy spreads ink across the universe,
dripping scarlet liquid fated by black magic.   

Dark energy spreads ink across the universe,
As the wheels spin poets' necromantic verse,
and trumpeting angels’ mighty blasts rehearse.
The baneful sonnets doom driven by tragic,
dripping scarlet liquid fated by black magic. 
Disk dim damning polemics prosing perverse.

Duke Beaufort November 19, 2024 at 4:24 AM Anaya, you have much more poetic talent than I can ever imagine. Really remarkable and wonderful how willing you are to experiment. This has an amazing connection to the end of things we know. Funny too that dark matter and dark energy really exist according to cosmologists. Smiles. I Am Anaya December 5, 2024 at 2:50 PM They really do, Sir Duke! This form is intriguing me. Ty, for your smiles, as I smile.

Reason A. Poteet October 31, 2024 at 3:54 AM Good use of the word, polemics, in your last line. Congrats! You have illuminated the dark side of verse very well. The end is, of course, nearer than last year. I Am Anaya November 8, 2024 at 7:50 PM Ty, Reason! I'm looking for word's unbeknownst to me, once it is set in my poem, i have learned it.

Emile Pinet October 29, 2024 at 11:10 AM Congratulations, I Am Anaya! Your unique apocalyptic poem, "The Baneful Sonnets Doom" won second place in my contest. Well done. Soupmail me for your prize, my friend. Emile. I Am Anaya October 29, 2024 at 8:07 PM Ah! Emile, Ty for my placement in your challenging contest and tribute to our Milton! A real privilege and honor dearest poet. :)

Daniel Henry Rodgers October 28, 2024 at 11:16 AM Dear Anaya, What! yes, What, a masterful blend of cosmic imagery and poetic craft on this unique poem. Your use of the triolet form definitely creates such a haunting repetition that truly mirrors the expansive nature of dark energy. I could deeply feel your apocalyptic imagery for it evokes a sense of doom. For me, your choice of words, particularly "necromantic" and "baneful," infuses the piece with an air of mysticism and foreboding. It haunts the soul. Good Luck in the Contest! Autumn Blessings, My Dear Friend, Daniel I Am Anaya October 28, 2024 at 3:46 PM Yes, I would love one of Emile's Books !! I Am Anaya October 28, 2024 at 2:50 PM Ty, Daniel. This form was created by a poet I once had the privilege to know and enjoy here when I first posted on PS. LMilton Hankin's Trionet is the form, not quite the Triolet. A difficult confining form. :)

Robert Gorelick October 27, 2024 at 12:35 PM Your reference to Goya was apropos. I miss Milton as my compadre and inspiration. One of the undeniably decent souls on PS, he had the courage of his convictions, practicing what he preached as he offered in turns, encouragement and solace. His last posting demonstrated his unwavering faith as he approached his final reward. He would have enjoyed reading your engaging poem, in a form created by Milton himself. Cheers, Robert I Am Anaya October 27, 2024 at 1:35 PM Ty, RG! True that, a nice tribute to Milton. Cheers Robert! Cheers Milton!

David Kavanagh October 27, 2024 at 10:37 AM This one reads like a spin off from your (Space between the stars) Anaya, only done in a much stricter form, a very potent piece too may I add, (As the wheels spin poet’s necromantic verse) the stand out line amongst many, nothing like a little metaphorical black magic in the poet’s toolbox, an excellent piece, all the best in contest, cheers David (Nice to see Milton’s legacy is still alive on the soup) I Am Anaya October 27, 2024 at 1:33 PM I know I will contemplate more on that it's contagious and I want to do more on dark energy. Cheers to Milton! :):) David Kavanagh October 27, 2024 at 11:32 AM Glad you picked up on that black magic, because the universe is packed with the stuff (Dark energy) that is, we (poets) should really contemplate it more, but only if we don’t need a straight jacket afterwards lol! I Am Anaya October 27, 2024 at 11:02 AM OmG! In my mind it started out as a piece on space dark energy, and something you said somewhere, it is black magic--the straight jacket; Milton's form restricted my mind meandering into dark Goya medieval and poof! Revelations the theme is poets veering into that dark territory. Today it is all about Milton, Yay. My favorite line is (dripping scarlet liquid fated by black magic). Cheers, David! Ty's for your thoughts--anything helps me to understand more. lol.

Victor Buhagiar October 27, 2024 at 8:50 AM The structure of this poem is truly difficult, but you did well. Perfect structure not so easy to compose. I Am Anaya October 27, 2024 at 11:11 AM Ty, Victor. I was about to scrap it, but I let it ride. I know it'll be too dark for some folks, but this is what the evangelists believe in yes? It's their true reality. Today is about Milton and remembrance of him. Milton, RIP in the Heavens above.

I Am Anaya October 26, 2024 at 4:47 PM Awe, Milton my friend, the trionet is really tough for me :) Revelations: the seven trumpeted angels.
