TRIOLETS - THE THEORY          
           
1.(A)   The first repeats twice more again          
2.(B)   the next once more for sure you’ll see          
3.(a)   so have a go, pick up a pen          
4.(A)   the first repeats once more again          
5.(a)   just choose a scansion, cool and zen          
6.(b)   and stick to it so flow is free -          
7.(A)   the first repeats last time again          
8.(B)   the next, no more for sure - you see.          
           
           
           
TRIOLETS - THE PRACTICE          
           
Keys On Mars          
           
Was searching for my bloody keys          
they might as well have been on Mars          
the quest destroyed my zen-like ease          
while searching for my bloody keys          
I even pleaded God “Oh please …”            
forgot I’d dropped them in a vase.          
Was searching for my bloody keys          
they might as well have been on Mars.
