WELCOME

This is my blog (now there is a surprise!). I will be sticking in it poetry, prose, random musings, things that take my fancy and more than likely lots of pictures of cats. I hope you find something to amuse and/or interest you here.

Triolet?

Me

One basic truth is I am me
Of that I think I’m sure at last
While in my life I’m all at sea
One basic truth is I am me.

So room for doubt just can not be
No existentialist blast
One basic truth Id, I am me.
And that ‘I think, I am’ is last.


Hey!  Hayfever!

Are yes, at last, now spring is here
And suddenly the season shows
We see the fresh flowers appear
Are yes, at last, now spring is here

The itching deep in eye and ear
A violent tingling of nose.
Atchoo, at last, ow, spring is here
And suddenly the season shows.

Trioletting again.  Not my best form.

Thanks for visiting.  Please excuse if I don't get to visit and comment on many posts today, I hit rock bottom again last night.  Not a good place.

    Hey Pen and thank you ever so much for having a go! You're almost almost within grasp here! Lovely refrains, and the iambs are very close also...let me show you using your work::

    One basic truth is I am me A refrain
    Of that I think I’m sure at last same B refrain
    While in my life I’m all at sea a rhyme
    One basic truth is I am me.A refrain

    No room for doubt there cannot be adjusted a
    That existentialist flame b rhyme
    One basic truth is - I am me. A refrain
    And that ‘I think, I am’ is last. B refrain altered for irony

    And with very few changes, you're absolutely there! Triolet works for you :) Don't give up trying, you did such a good job!

    You captured not only the triolet but my reaction to spring as well. About to get worse as I head south tomorrow. The pollen is out ..beautiful but hard to see when eyes are streaming. Well done here!

    I loved your tweak on the "A refrain" when you entered the second to last line in "Hey! Hayfever!" Very Cute.
