Hello Poetry Lovers
Today I couldn’t resist going back to Triolet Corner, one of my favourite poetry forms.
Thanks to the lovely Sharon Andrews aka @inksomnia_poetry, an admirably prolific poet and constant inspiration, who gave us this beautiful prompt. Sharon is many times published, and titles include A Heart Full of Haiku and and Moon Writing.
Sharon, a dog lover, (Dobby wants me to cut off all contact, natch) also hosts wonderful live readings. A poet worth looking up.
So, the first poem is mine, followed by a beautiful piece from Sharon. Get reading….
My Mouth is a Crescent Moon
My mouth is a crescent moon
Longing to be loved and kissed
You tell me not to be a buffoon
My mouth is a crescent moon
When I see you there, I swoon
But you’re intent on getting pissed
My mouth is a crescent moon
Longing to be loved and kissed

The following piece is from Sharon herself, a tender and personal poem.
A Cup of Springtime
Pour me a cup of springtime
To warm these winter lips
A fragrance so sublime
Lingering floral sips
Darling boil the kettle
Steep the perfumed leaves
Watch the floating petals
Inhale the scent and breathe
Pour me a cup of sunshine
Let me feel the bliss
A calming moment so serene
Pulls me from the abyss
I’ll hold the liquid in my mouth
Feel the flavour on my tongue
Watch the sun rise in the south
Know that spring has sprung
Pour me a cup of renewal
Let me sense my spirit float
I can feel my body refuel
As spring slips down my throat
