Long Triolets Poems

Milton was a person you couldn't help but like.
Almost every  time I wrote a Triolet
He'd stop by and visit and once said,
 "You know how I love the triolets!"
A gentle soul,  shared gentle...

“Forget the injuries, never forget kindness” ~ Confucious

 To the faceless names I’ve phased, 
forgive the silent sunsets, frozen in time, 
  and remember thin cinnamon skylines, 
how ink carved compassion, cosmically~
 when heaven...

i am here to let your words make love to me
i am here to bury my face deep in your poetry

to let your haiku 
molest my naked body
shake me like a tree

can you read the want in my hips
for your...

A foggy morning with dreary overtones
Can cause the spirit to spiral downward
Eliciting slow-moving, guttural groans
A foggy morning with dreary overtones,
It makes us feel like decrepit, old crones
Roadblocks in the way of moving forward,
A foggy morning...

Nesting season will soon be over
Fledglings are peeking over the edges
Yearning to join their parents in flight
Nesting season will soon be over,
While feral cats await like ugly vultures
Innocent young chicks unknowing descend
Nesting season will soon...

I did not seek earthly wealth or fame
My life has been rich and full, indeed
I have tried to fairly play the game
I did not seek earthly wealth or fame
In truth, many people know my name
Seems...

The Gentle Ride 

A light breeze brushed and passed me by
As I rode along the timeless scene,
I marvelled at the pellucid sky,
A light breeze brushed and passed me by.
And overhead I saw a swallow fly,
Effortless,...

triolets

Poured a cup of coffee and softened it with cream
I hug a romance novel, first chapter's underway
Hubby's gone a fishin', a long way off downstream
poured a cup of coffee and softened it with cream.
Couch is...

I’m ready to have an affair with spring
Dulcet kisses in meadow’s violets
Under Chiffon clouds, while the spring birds sing
Having a picnic writing triolets

I'm ready to dance in the bright flowers
As light as the delicate Queen...

~My Triolet~
(A Double Triolet)


Triolets come in many forms for fun
To try sometimes with them right here my hand
Ten or eight syllables can choose to count
Triolets come in many forms for fun
Ten lines here to write...

Long poems, short poems
    Wide poems, narrow 
  High poems, low poems
    Romance, Cupid's arrow

  Old poems, new poems
    Red poems, blue poems

I find I'm blind, I'm cold and lost.
A lesson that this winter's brought.
I'm storm beset and tempest tossed.
I find I'm blind, I'm cold and lost

Dark winter's chill of silver frost
has froze my mind, I'm lost...

Picasso of contemporary literature...
Sestinas and Plantouns, fiiled with imageries,
These fluorescent poems, alive and talking.

Bethoven's concertos, silent and buried.
Triolets and haikus, mottled the pages with music;
They sing to the audience of poetry.

Robert Frost, in his zenith,
Longing...

I recall being four years old
and picking hazelnuts with mum.
Fall was chilly, but not too cold,
and we'd picked some to be sold.
Your dad's off to war; I got told, 
I didn't know that he would...

What kind of poetry are folks reading?
Sonnets and triolets of beautiful scenes,
Or tirades about the latest political row
Random words from poet minds feeding.

Unrhymed blank verse, or is it free verse
Old-fashioned limericks for a chuckle
Time for...
