Another Triolet

I lower the shutters behind my eyes
so no one can see what’s missing,
blindly beguiled by a clever disguise.

I lower the shutters behind my eyes
and hold your attention between my thighs
with wine, cabaret and kissing.

I lower the shutters behind my eyes
so no one can see what’s missing.




This triolet is exactly 55 words, so I offer it to FF55 where G-man offers, and asks for 55 words about anything at all.  The triolet is a short poem of eight line with only two rhymes used throughout.  The first line is repeated in the fourth and seventh lines; the second line is repeated in the final line.  This gives a deceptively simple appearance: ABaAbAB, where capital letters indicate repeated lines.

  3. Yeah there is a lot of this, just going with the flow when one or both don't even want to be there.

  6. Tried that, it gets repetitive & unsatisfying after a while. Not the poem, the practice. ~Mary
