A Glancing Thought (triolet)

If you don't mind may I help you? I was researching this and found a layout for a triolet....

A

B

a-rhymes with the first line

A-identical to the first line

a-rhymes w/first line

b-rhymes w/second line

A-identical with first line

B-identical w/second line

Hope this helps.

My bad, I see that is how you have it, atleast it will help someone else, good job by the way. lol Again sorry.

I am glad it passed muster! lOL

I still am confused as to how it is supposed to be structured, not good with instructions, but glad it came out correctly anyway!

A great writing true to its form. A glancing praise from this poet...

Alien blood

thanks Poddar

Good job... although I thought a triolet might be a flower.

(The provincial flower of Ontario is a trillium.)

I saw Susan b. doing this triolet thing and couldn't figure out the mathematics of it! it is a form of poetry apparently. Sandra explains it in the first comment here!

good job  thank you for posting

So, it is a good poem anyway.

apparently it qualifies for a triolet!

I am embarrassed to say I had no idea what a triolet was...I learned something new today, I can now go to bed (and a great poem to boot)

Hi Georgiana and thank you for tackling something new to you.  That's an important step.  I'll try to explain the structure a bit differently.  Looking at your poem, your 1st line is:  A glancing thought.  That same line should be repeated in the 4th and 7th line spot.  As it is, you've repeated it too often.  

A glancing thought (good line)
Across my mind (good line)
--new line that rhymes with "thought"--
A glancing thought (repeats 1st line)
--new line that rhymes with "thought"--
What will you find? (good line)
A glancing thought (repeats 1st line)
Across my mind (repeats 2nd line) 

----------------------

So to finish this poem, you have two lines to write: lines 3 & 5

Like this?

OK:

A glancing thought

Across my mind

It is not frought

A glancing thought

With things once bought

What will you find

A glancing thought

Across my mind.

That shows how structure can get in the way.  Yes, you fit the form with this rework, but it loses some of what you had.  I like your first version and would just deep six the "triolet".

Yes, I lose freedom of thought whent rying to 'write between the lines' I am not a structured person!

Beautiful flowing sweetness.
