Beau Barberis Poet Triolet

The Scarf

Winter swirls on the morning mist  
Undulating clouds blowing west. 
Cobwebs clear with a forceful fist  
Winter swirls on the morning mist  
A snatch of red wool to untwist
Caught in an updraft on the crest 
Winter swirls on the morning mist
Undulating clouds blowing west

The glow of lights beckoning home
A snatch of red wool on the hook
Soggy from the day’s windy roam
The glow of lights beckoning home
Curled before the fire alone
Sweet calico purrs in the nook
The glow of lights beckoning home
A snatch of red wool on the hook

Tom Cunningham January 24, 2025 at 12:03 PM You paint beautiful imagery with your words Beau, an enjoyable read. Tom Beau Barberis January 27, 2025 at 12:25 PM Thank you! I'm glad you liked it.

David Crandall January 23, 2025 at 1:08 PM Great poem. I like the near rhymes of the est and ist. Does the scarf my a round trip journey. You were asking if I write for children, and I could ask the same question after reading about the Leaf Sheep Sea Slug - or I could ask if you are a teacher? Beau Barberis January 27, 2025 at 12:32 PM I do write children's stories but I'm not a teacher. I'm also not really a poet. I'm much more of a storyteller. But I like creating poems within specific parameters, like the Triolet. It's very good practice for flash fiction and children's rhymes. And I like poetrysoup! A very nice community of people! You should write for children. You have the knack for it. I can see it in your poems.
