It's the form of writing that I have done the longest and is the one thing I always return to. It is my therapy; often when I get frustrated or sad I turn to poetry to help sort things out. Many of those poems will probably NEVER see the light of day, but I have quite to collection of written poems, in many styles. I had a professor in college who taught her student how to write Villanelles, Terzenelles, Triolets, and Sestinas. These are the forms that have stayed with me. Heck, I even featured my college Villanelle and Terzenelles!
I had a really successful Sonnet Month, so i thought that I would try another form. I am usually up for a challenge and i really loved "Intro to Creative Writing" with Professor Lord in the Fall of 1997. This means that I have need of your help, Dear Readers. I need topic with which to write these poems. You can leave me a comment below with a topic, or via my Facebook page: Here, There be a Writer or my Twitter: draconicwitch. I love to have unique and interesting things to write about. See, I wrote a sonnet, my favourite of the 31 sonnets, about Vertebrae. Check it out here!
I am starting off with a Triolet, mostly because it's a shorter form, not necessarily because it's easier. When concerning rhyme, I am always super anal. I refuse to present something with crappy rhyme. It's so very easy to write a crappy rhyme, but it takes talent to write in rhyme and sound good. This is NOT my best, but it was kind of easy to write. The imagery easier to form. This is why I prefer to get random and strange topic, because it pushes me to view the world in a different way.
A bit about what a triolet from poets.org;
the triolet is a short poem of eight lines with only two rhymes used throughout. 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.

Sole of the Summertime
Upon which is the barest form that I can think.
It’s the sole of the summertime, or the quickest change,
When I don the plastic thong that wraps my toes in pink.
It’s the sole of the summertime, or the quickest change
But mostly it’s not for the comfort, I think.
Consider that maybe those dollar store sandals, though
strange
Upon which is the barest form that I can think,
It’s the sole of the summertime, or the quickest change.
