Roses Are Red, Triolets Are New
Thank you for giving my first triolet a chance,
figuring it out was a challenge. At first glance,
I typed A-B-a-A-a-b-A-B to start.
Thank you for giving my first triolet a chance.
I typed A-B-a-A-a-b-A-B. To start,
I wrote four different lines, copy/pasted apart.

Three Companion Triolets
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 I have sown plenty of good seed
I did not seek earthly wealth or fame
My life has been rich and full,

Dizains and Triolets
Dizains and triolets are somewhat similar,
Although triolets are a tiny bit slimmer
And I must admit, the triolet is repetitive
While the dizain rhymes are competitive.
I am inclined to write these poetry forms
Because they follow rather strict norms,
And force upon me discipline in writing,
When the thoughts I have are uninviting.
And when I cannot apply either, or worse,

Winter's Day Triolets
I find I'm blind, I'm cold and lost.

Dark winter's chill of silver frost
has froze my mind, I'm lost in thought.
I find I'm blind, I'm cold and lost
A lesson that this winter's brought.

Two Triolets
She kissed me so sweet
I am light as air;
Where my two lips meet
She kissed me so sweet.
And the arms of Defeat?
Oh, I'll never be there!
She kissed me so sweet
I am light as air!

I sang through the night
And a bright bird flew;
By a lone lamplight
I sang through the night.
Though the whole storm's might
Tore the trees in
