it's a highly addictive business, the rhythmn of mine is off, but adheres to the triolet rules, i hope you all have a go too: I used to be awake and you asleep. I’d count the lonely freckles on your chest. I imagined you where somewhere quite deep. I used to be awake while you were asleep, So I distracted myself (I couldn’t sleep) Watched your constellations stutter rest. I used to be awake and you asleep, So I’d count the lonely freckles on your chest. |

Wings, I vaguely remeber that it rhymes with "Chevrolet" not "violet", beyond that I'm gonna have to hit the books. Excellent idea. Doc |

the 1st line is repeated on the fourth and seventh line. the second line is repeated on the 8th line. it's an 8 lines poem. and the rhyme scheme is a b a a a b a b so just two rhymes in the whole poem. the theme is often that of circularity (rrepetitivness etc) or of a situation that cannot be resolved. |

Actually Doc, it does rhyme with violet. These things can be a real challenge as well as addictive. We did this once before and I have a bunch I posted then. Sounds like fun Claire. I'll see if I can write something new and join in. Ok, here's the link to the old ones. And one more here. |

Seems to me I attempted this...I shall either dust an oldie off, OR attack a new one... They can be mind-benders! |

*laughs* I sat down to try this...and I fear I got to stuck on trying to come up with something to write about  A challenge I see that I must do But I know not what to write Still I take this dare from you A challenge I see that I must do Something never tried, but new Though I fear my words are a fright A challenge I see that I must do And still I know not what to write |

I think this was the first thing I ever did in the Poetry workshop. :-) Made me want to join. But, hopefully, I'll come up with something new. Haven't written much lately. Bout time I did something about that. By the way - I really like the sound of your triolet. :-) |

Sigh...had to go to the archives... She, accursed with red ruby lips That pout and purse at me in trust From which sweet words of love doth slip She, accursed with red ruby lips As she puts hands to slender hips And bids me love her as I must She, accursed with red ruby lips That pout and purse at me in trust. |

Dang good ladies. Come on Sunshine, just because I had to go to the archives doesn't mean you should too. I like that on though. I don't remember seeing it before. Ok, I'll still write one if you will too. |
