Triolet...Blue skies...

A Triolet is a poetic form consisting of only 8 lines. Within a Triolet, the 1st, 4th, and 7th lines repeat, and the 2nd and 8th lines do as well. The rhyme scheme is simple: ABaAabAB, capital letters representing the repeated lines. This triolet is written in iambic tetrameter.

Blue skies upon my awakening shout

Phosphorescent skies of an evening stir my soul

Variations in between scales of rainbow trout

Blues skies upon my awakening shout

Threatening dark skies bring wicked doubt

Rows of ruffled clouds set life at cruise control

Blue skies upon my awakening do shout

Phosphorescent skies of an evening stir my soul

FROM THE WRITER OF DOWN THE EYRIE ROAD
Originally, when I began this blog, I was 64 and opened

with the following lyrics from the Beatles' song:

When I get older losing my hair,

Many years from now,

Will you still be sending me a valentine

Birthday greetings bottle of wine?

If I'd been out till quarter to three,

would you lock the door,

Will you still need me, will you still feed me,

When I'm sixty-four.

Now 67, I hope to blog till I am 74 or 104.

Thank you followers & friends

Checking in; it is July 2016 and life goes on.

Here it is 2018. This March I turn 71. It's time to revamp, weed out the worst and make a book of sorts containing the best of the blog. It consists of prose poetry and short stories; they are pieces of me that I have been able to share, with pleasure, with you...considering how energy often was channeled elsewhere, the blog has an average of 300 visitors monthly from around the world. Thank you for stopping by.
