Hello Poetry Lovers
Are we settling nicely into 2022 now? Or like me, you’re treading with caution?
I’ve gone back to the world of the Triolet form, if only to feature this beautiful piece from the genuis talented poet Connaire Kensit
Dobby and I are huge fans of Connaire’s work, and my heart was particularly captured by this beautiful triolet. This will be followed by a more ruthless poet’s work, but will not be in the same class. I’m warning you now! Read on;



True Life Romance
The truth is exciting;
Romance is prosaic.
Though not always delighting,
The truth is exciting.
No fictional writing
Can match life’s mosaic.
The truth is, “Exciting
Romance” is prosaic.
C. Kensit 2021

Wasn’t that beautiful, such clever and vivid words. Thank you, Connaire. Lovely piece.

The following triolets are more bitter-sweet but they seem to fall into this subject. More failed romances really.

Tap Routine
You told me I had kaleidoscope eyes
In between tap dancing classes
How was I to know it was all lies?!
You told me I had kaleidoscope eyes
But it was all a clever disguise
You just liked to make passes
You told me I had kaleidoscope eyes
In between tap dancing classes

Husband Triolet
My husband would never give you the eye
He’s not that sort of chap
What you’ve heard is a complete lie
My husband would never give you the eye
He swore to me he’d rather die
It’s just all a big mishap
My husband would never give you the eye
He’s not that sort of chap
Traditional 1974
Wasn’t that fun?! Thank you again to the lovely poet and cat lover, Connaire. Thanks for tuning in, PL’s. Stay tuned for some more poetry antics real soon…
I think of myself as an ex-cat-lover. Connaire
