Triolet poems have a specified rhyming scheme with 8 verses; the 1st, 4th and 7th verse repeated, and the 2nd and 8th verse repeated. Thanks to Richard Cederberg for introducing me to this idea several months ago when he posted his own triolets.

He Betrayed Her:

A Triolet

By John Herlihy

 

He betrayed her, love lost and more,

The memory gone of endless bliss.

He listened to his heart implore,

He betrayed her, love lost and more.

His beloved not there to adore,

Every moment a time to miss.

He betrayed her, love lost and more,

The memory gone of endless bliss.

 

She Betrayed Him:

A Triolet

By John Herlihy

 

She betrayed him, love lost and more,

The memory gone of endless bliss.

She listened to her heart implore,

She betrayed him, love lost and more.

Her beloved not there to adore,

Every moment a time to miss.

She betrayerdhim, love lost and more,

The memory gone of endless bliss.

In the Whirlwind by Tichaona Chinyelu

In the Whirlwind is a poetic storm that frees history from the cages of corruption and puts it in the hands of everyday people. Words are weaved into a new fashion statement that has nothing to do with runways but everything to do with projects!
