Very cute use of the limited pleiades size to describe the Triolet! And I'm glad you didn't do a sonnet one cos you certainly would have beaten mine to a pulp, haha! I wish you all the best ~ John

Great explanation of a triolet, using the very form, no less. Kudos, Andrea... Although this is just silly, I'd like to note here that Triolet rhymes with Frio-Lay. ~ Whatever

I actually wanted to put that into the poem: Frito-lay, but the line length is too limiting. This is what I do not like about the Pleiades form. you can do too little with only six syllables. If only it gave eight syllables instead, like a triolet does!
