A workshop assignment, a triolet about winter weather. I've done two. The first is for fun; the second, more serious.
MY HAT!
Breeze sends my hat sailing through air.
I race behind, sliding on ice.
Wintry weather messes my hair.
Breeze sends my hat sailing through air.
Snow falls come, don't know what to wear.
No way to be warm and still look nice.
Breeze sends my hat sailing through air.
I race behind, sliding on ice.
TWO BY TWO
Snowflakes streaming two by two

Devising ice dances anew
Snowflakes streaming two by two.
Waltzing, swirls, pirouettes, too.
Wintry dance transformation.
Snowflakes streaming two by two
in perfect winter conformation.
