Triolet
Poetry Contest Description
Write a poem describing a person in triolets
Entries must be written in either the first or third person, and in one or more triolets.
A triolet is a short form with an ABAAABAB rhyming structure, which closes on the same lines as the first two. Attached is a WikiHow diagram of the form.
COVID RELIEF NOW!
If you could eat words, then sure, thoughts and prayers-
But what of the thousands lined up for some food?
They need deed doers more than just sayers!
If you could eat words, then sure, thoughts and prayers-
But each day that goes by tells them nobody cares;
Cake-eating suits finding such hunger rude.

Also, it needs to be a description of a person. Physical, emotional, both, your choice. Therefore it ideally needs to be written in the first or third person, where your poem appears to be written in the second.

Hi, AspergerPoet56, thank you for your entry. However, to be considered, your poem needs to be three triolets totalling 24 lines and be a portrait of a specific individual. Please see my reply to Kumar above for further clarification.

I've simplified the rules. Now the poem just has to be written in the first or third person and consist of one or more triolets, your choice. Please ignore the ”Poetry Contest” banner, the system won't let me edit that.
The Godhead
I sing, before the Lord, Most High;
The Father’s heart and palms, a-flame,
a coat of colors, hair, of white—
I sing, before the Lord, Most High.
Doves a-wing, their flight, is nigh,
The Book of Life, now bears my name;
I sing, before the Lord, Most High,
The Father’s heart and palms, a-flame.
I sing, before the Father’s Son,
a victor in a three-days’ grave;
the rider on the horse, has won,
I sing, before the Father’s Son.
In fields of blooms, my heart, he’s won
to Him, I’m wed; my hand, I gave.
I sing, before the Father’s Son,
a victor in a three-days’ grave.
I sing before the Spirit, God,
the Father, Son and Holy Ghost;
He’s guarded places, I have trod,
I sing before the Spirit, God.
He watched me plant a mustard pod,
and cast my soul, upon the host;
I sing before the Spirit, God,
the Father, Son and Holy Ghost.
