Edward Ibeh Poet Triolet

Notes About The Poem

The Seven-Year Itch

A married couple now scratch the seven-year itch
Their days of wine and roses have waxed and waned
The honeymoon's over. Love, no longer at a fever pitch
A married couple now scratch the seven-year itch
The spark is gone; their chemistry, down the ditch
Though they put up a fight, no ground was gained
A married couple now scratch the seven-year itch
Their days of wine and roses have waxed and waned

Andrea Dietrich February 24, 2019 at 3:20 PM Insightful , I really do think there is merit in the expression of the 7 year itch. I like that you used more than 8 syllables per line. Someone came to a triolet of mine with 10 syllables per line saying that made it "not a triolet' For heaven's sakes. What a bunch of bull. I really like your triolet. I think we should be able to determine our own syllable count in them! Edward Ibeh February 24, 2019 at 7:37 PM Thank you for the wonderful comments, Andrea:-) I totally echo your sentiments!

Andrea Dietrich February 24, 2019 at 3:20 PM by the way, thanks for your recent contest and my win in it. Edward Ibeh February 24, 2019 at 7:38 PM You're welcome:-)
