I love triolet’s, but it was a while since I wrote one. Thought that I’d do a little one in time for Valentine. This one is shared on Dverse open link night. ALso inspired by today’s word quiver on artwiculate

As Cupid carefully takes aim
and arrows from his quiver takes
for Valentine’s the victims maim
as Cupid carefully takes aim
and every year we play the game
the flower-shop their money makes
as Cupid carefully takes aim
and arrows from his quiver takes

A perfect Valentine poem 🙂
Thank you 🙂
Lovely!
🙂 Thank you
oh what a game it is…and all about money…i rather like love shared on a normal day all the more you know…when it is not expected…smiles…nice form sir
Thank tou Brian, prices of roses are soaring… 🙂
Give me wine and alone time! lol Wonderful use of the form…and the image is fantastic!
Wine shared any day is better than a rose on Valentine.
Agreed!
Love it Bjorn. One small suggestion would be to change “take” to “takes” which would make your subject and verb agree. I appreciate that English is not your first language – I wouldn’t even dare to try and write in Swedish.
Thank you Tony, my usual error. We do not have different verb forms (any longer) in Swedish..
I didn’t know that about Swedish. I do know that English is not as easy to learn as we tend to think – the pronunciation is so variable, even when the letters are the same. I admire people like you and Claudia who write in your second, third …sixth language.
The flower shops do make a lot of money when Cupid takes aim ~
Good work on the form, thanks for sharing this at D’verse ~

It’s a joy to write… 🙂
Taking aim at the money maker…but also true aim at love and love’s special day. A charming piece, Bjorn!
Thank you. 🙂 Yes both can be true at the same time.
valentines day was no big deal over here in germany for a long time…now it’s getting more and more popular cause the shops have discovered you can make money with it…ah…sad..
Same thing here in Sweden, and the roses are 10 times as expensive.
I loooove Triolets !
you tempt me to try one soon 🙂
They are lovely, and comparatively easy to do.
i avoid those arrows as much as possible!!!
😉 totally understandable
