Kim Rodrigues Poet Triolet

Threads of Deceit

THREADS OF DECEIT

The puppet flexes with threads of gold,
the hobby of his mistress to sew.
His wife kneels on impenitent boards, parquet cold.
The puppet flexes with threads of gold.

Scurrying out, floorboards creaking and bold,
he’s grown a larger nose, than the man she once knew.
The puppet flexes with threads of gold
The hobby of his mistress to sew

Darren White October 17, 2017 at 3:02 AM I wrote a triolet, only a week ago or something (not on Soup, but my awesome writersforum), I don't think it's easy at all, although it seems simple enough with all the repetition. But actually you have very little space to maneuver, because only a few lines are 'free'. Beautiful triolet, Kim. Kim Rodrigues October 17, 2017 at 7:36 AM Thanks so much, Darren! So true. It is trying to find a clever refrain and then make the few lines you have pop. :)

Arturo Michael October 16, 2017 at 8:06 PM This line made me smile,"he’s grown a larger nose, than the man she once knew." Very creative... A good evening to you Kim Rodrigues October 16, 2017 at 8:17 PM Thanks, Arturo!
