The prompt from April 13 was to write a non-apology for something stolen... so I found these words from magazines...

Rules of the Triolet Form...
The requirements of this fixed form are straightforward: the first line is repeated in the fourth and seventh lines; the second line is repeated in the final line; and only the first two end-words are used to complete the tight rhyme scheme. Thus, the poet writes only five original lines, giving the triolet a deceptively simple appearance: ABaAabAB, where capital letters indicate repeated lines. I’m ignoring the prompt, which is to look at Flower and botany proper names and meaning... I’ll fish out a past poem to follow the prompt but here is the third, and final poem in The Spencer Creek Trilogy.... In the Key of CreekCardinal calls me to Spencer’s sanctuary:
Cicadas keeping beat. Blue jays strike up the chorus. Wren envelops me with his whistling, whimsical melody. Singing sparrow sings solo. Crickets chime in. Squirrel spots me and stops. We stare, sharing a sliver of time. Uncouth crows call crudely back and forth. Chickadees chortle, chatting to one another, announcing, “Autumn is nigh.” Above, geese fly - V for victory. What’s that? Did I hear a splash? Bustling beaver is building. Cat bird cries dramatically. Cooper hawk eyes his kingdom. Deer Momma and babe bolt. I’m honoured to have been so near. A mink! A mink! I’m tickled pink. She swam across the creek. Each day, new wonders. Spencer’s siren song, enticing me to sweet splendour. I surrender. 2 hay (na) ku sonnets, based on certain song titles downloaded to my iPhone iTunes... Advice from A - L for Troubled Times
This prompt is for a concrete poem, which I have done for my 4th poem, so I present the second poem in The Spencer Creek Trilogy... Forest Music, |
Old and wise, I'm tired of what life brings. Seen many things, and suffered the stings. Thoughts bounce back and forth, Big Bang inside my brain, A wild whirling crash course, Exploding inner peace drain. Wishing for a black hole to open and obliterate my soul. A bad mood, like a demon- You must exercise, until it's free, Man!
