Poetry Day #12
Today’s prompt was to write a troilet – another gift from the French, that is 8 lines, where the 1st, 4th and 7th are the same, as are the 2nd and 8th, and then something about a tight rhyming scheme and the ability to rearrange your lines into some sort of deceptive verbiage……..to be honest I got sort of lost with this assignment.
Haiku
It started with booze
Then meandered to candy
Easter’s a blessing
The Easter Troilet
My brain is not working quite as it should
Full of Easter candy and coffee with booze
No eggs to hunt once we reached adulthood
My brain is not working quite as it should
With the poems I’m writing there’s no likelihood
Of my work being published, it’s merely here to amuse
My brain is not working quite as it should
Full of Easter candy and coffee with booze
