Hello!
I give up, it is definitely going the way of the short poem this year!
Day 12’s prompt on the NaPoWriMo site asked me to construct a triolet poem.
Rules of the Triolet Form
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. [from here]
I think the author of the above might have a different take on the word ‘straightforward’ to the rest of us?! Anyway, I think I figured it out 😉
Introvert In 2020
This staying in is music to my ears,
I never excelled socially at all!
Don’t you know I’m a slave to my fears?
This staying in is music to my ears!
Hat’s off to those with fancy-pants careers
(I know if I’d to do them, skies would fall)
This staying in is MUSIC to my ears,
I never excelled socially at all…
Big hugs to anybody feeling trapped and hemmed in right now, I can imagine extroverted personalities especially will be feeling very ‘wronged’ at the moment. How are you coping with the social distancing restrictions? I hope you are doing ok and that you can find some positives within your day to stop you thinking about the grim side of all this for at least an hour or two.
I’m looking forward to Day 13’s prompt, NaPoWriMo seems to be flying past this year, but I am sure my days would feel slower if I didn’t have the kids about 😉 Catch you soon!
