L Milton Hankins Poet Triolet

The World Will End

I think the world will end in dead of night
All of a sudden, I am reasonably certain
And the picture will not be a pretty sight
I think the world will end in dead of night.
A meteor slams earth with nuclear might
As time draws down with the final curtain
I think the world will end in dead of night
All of a sudden, I am reasonably certain.

Caren Krutsinger May 25, 2021 at 1:23 PM Great triolet; I agree this might be the best way to go, when we are all sleeping.

Sally Eslinger May 21, 2021 at 7:03 PM This has super flow with gentle rhyme that add to impact with each use. You have aced the triolet! Be well! L Milton Hankins May 21, 2021 at 7:37 PM Thanks so much, Sally. I appreciate your accolade!

Andrea Dietrich May 21, 2021 at 4:11 PM did I see somewhere you had not written triolet before? well, you sure are doing a fine job here. frankly, I hope it does end VERY suddenly because I could not stand living in the aftermath of disaster!! L Milton Hankins May 21, 2021 at 7:38 PM Me neither. I discovered the form reading a poem by Emile Pinet and decided to give it a try. I like it about as much as I like pantoums and villanelles. Thanks so much, Andrea. Compliments from you mean so much to me.

Tom Cunningham May 21, 2021 at 3:00 PM I just hope I'm asleep when it happens, they say a large one wiped out the dinosaurs. Tom L Milton Hankins May 21, 2021 at 7:39 PM I feel the same way, Tom. Thanks for your read.

Vijay Pandit May 21, 2021 at 1:55 PM Anything is possible--we are hanging out in space over which we have little control. Intriguing and scary prediction, Milton. Excellent write--expertly executed triolet. L Milton Hankins May 21, 2021 at 2:28 PM Thanks, Vijay. Let's just hope no astroid has our name on it.

Sotto Poet May 21, 2021 at 12:19 PM Quite good writing Milton, even though it's dark. I think the world will end, which will be highly distressing to witness; I hope IT will already pass me at that moment. L Milton Hankins May 21, 2021 at 12:35 PM Me hopeful, too. I guess I'd prefer the world to end while I am sleeping. Actually, I don't think the world will end in my time. Leaving that to the next generation! Thanks for your thoughtful comment.
