The poetry stretch at Miss Rumphius Effect this week is to write a triolet, which is an eight line poem with a tightly rhymed structure and repeated lines.
I did two triolets comparing new romantic love with mature sacrificial love, I think.
Love is not blind
Watching pride and prejudice
Loud subterranean passion stirs
Longing for that lost first kiss
Watching pride and prejudice
Remembering new love’s bliss
Buried under years and years
Watching pride and prejudice
Loud subterranean passion stirs.
Watching you stamp up and down
Upon our son’s bedding in the bath
Despite the vomit, you discard a frown
Watching you stamp up and down
Playing the part of a carefree clown
Two is better than one along this path
Watching you stamp and down
Upon our son’s bedding in the bath.
