NaPoWriMo Day 23: Today’s prompt is to write a triolet, which is an eight-line poem. All the lines are in iambic tetramenter (for a total of eight syllables per line), and the first, fourth, and seventh lines are identical, as are the second and final lines. So I have attempted three separate Triolets, one Coffee is a rearrangement of one I had written a while back . Stupid and Eggshells are both new…… here goes then.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Stupid
Why am I stupid I want to know
Why do I make his danger signals glow
Whatever I try makes him angry so …..
Why am I so stupid I want to know
Why is it I always set his danger signals aglow.
Why am I stupid I want to know
Why do I make his danger signals glow
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Coffee
I do love my cup of coffee
Especially when it’s hot and frothy
Not for me Vanilla or toffee for
I do love my cup of coffee
But it must be hot and frothy for
I do love my cup of coffee
Especially when it’s hot and frothy
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Eggshells
I walk on eggshells all my life
Trying to be the perfect wife
Heading off all trouble and strife
I walk on eggshells all my life
Shall I ever be the perfect wife
I walk on eggshells all my life
Trying to be the perfect wife
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

I’ve often thought that walking on eggshells is so, so descriptive..Willow, . the pain of just crushing eggshells with my hand (just made a flan) makes me flinch, so if I actually walked on them.. shivers!! … Enjoyed the read my friend, .and I could actually smell the coffee…any left? 🙂 xxPenxx

There is always coffee for friends, especially good friends!!..I do not recommend walking on eggshells it is not only painful but it is stressful too! xxxx

Yes, and no you are not. So glad you’ve sorted your email I know how irritating that can be if it is not working as it should! I am glad you liked the triolets!

I kinda gathered..
You ever need an ear or a shoulder…
For anything..
You know how..
I could write a book on what I “Felt” from you there..
