A Triolet
Be a little bit in love with everything
for anything can be a start
a quiet glance, a broken string
Be a little bit in love with everything
the bellicose, a freshly buttered kugel ring
beyond appearance lives the tender heart
Be a little bit in love with everything
for anything can be a start.

This is so difficult to do and sound natural – and have something to say throughout – but you’ve managed all that beautifully. Congratulations!

Summer greetings to you, John, and thank you! This began as a single line Tweet until I’d said it a few times to myself & thought there might be some intrinsic rhythm worth exploring.
The more I dip into medieval forms, the more I am persuaded they were dovecotes for words. Language is such a miraculous thing!
