Keeping up is always a chore
So throw a load of laundry in
It never ends; it's such a bore
Keeping up is always a chore

It only gets worse when you start to ignore
It's hard to tell where to begin
Keeping up is always a chore
So throw a load of laundry in

Not sure what a triolet is, but this was musical.

That's a triolet? Now I know - sort of!! Can you define a triolet for me, a poetry novice?

(I did several loads yesterday, by the way...)

I'm going to write an article about my process of writing a triolet, and maybe other forms too. They are not as scary as people think

Diana Raabe Jun 2, 2007, 2:59pm EDT

That's good because I was thinking they seem pretty scary!
