The Triolet It is not hard to write a triolet with only eight short lines and rhymes but two. We struggle for the proper words, and yet, it is not hard to write a triolet. Repeating lines seem cause to get upset and proper placement proves it quite untrue it is not hard to write a triolet with only eight short lines and rhymes but two. |

Uh-oh. I've been pronouncing it wrong all this time. I'm such a zit.  When you can't find a subject matter, write the theme...love it! |

I like the expanded triolets where several are strung together on a central theme... Jack, Jackie and Bob Bring back the Jackie Gleason shows That made me laugh with wild delight Until I had a runny nose. Bring back the Jackie Gleason shows. They were just ordinary joes But Ralph and Norton were a sight! Bring back the Jackie Gleason shows That made me laugh with wild delight. Bring back the funny Bob Hope shows Wherever men were sent to fight. He traveled with the USO's Bring back the funny Bob Hope shows. While soldiers fought against our foes He offered them a brief respite. Bring back those funny Bob Hope Shows Wherever men were sent to fight. Bring back those great Jack Benny shows That used to fill my Friday night. Chin held by hand in classic pose Bring back those great Jack Benny shows. As everyone who watched him knows His fiddle playing was a fright! Bring back those great Jack Benny shows That used to fill my Friday night. The tides of Life have ebbs and flows That bring the dark where once was light. Joy comes to life and then it goes. The tides of Life have ebbs and flows. These three now share deserved repose Forever young in Heaven's sight. The tides of Life have ebbs and flows That bring the dark where once was light. In my mind admiration grows For these three stars that shone so bright Until the final curtain close In my mind admiration grows. I thank them for their silly prose And bid the three a fond goodnight. In my mind admiration grows For these three stars that shone so bright. |
