Triolet’s are one of my favorite forms. Yesterday the wordgame artwiculate had wonderful word called susurrus that begs for poetry. I wrote a tetrameter quatrain that I expand to a triolet for dVerse. Hopefully that delayed spring will come one day.
Spring in Sweden
In susurrus of southern breeze
the singing spring is here to stay
an orchard full of buzzing bees
In susurrus of southern breeze
hear babbling brook, see
where children run around and play
In susurrus of southern breeze
the singing spring is here to stay

I love the Triolet as well
this form works well with the lightness of spring
the breeze, the brook, the children all have beautiful voices in spring
Thank you.. it is a light form of poetry… but it sings to you…
nice assonance and use of sibilance…lovely poem, Bjorn!
Ah thank you… I really enjoyed writing it… playing with words
ha…great alliteration in this as well…it gives it a rather bouncy rhythm….susurrus is a very cool word as well…well played…and nice form…
yes I wanted to have a little singing feeling to it… bouncy sounds good.
so musical…loved the sound this beautiful verse made while reciting..just beautiful~
Thank you 🙂
Love teh S in this.
soft like spring.
oh i just love the sounds here…susurrus of southern breeze
the singing spring…and i too hope that spring will come finally…
Hope is what we need…. seems to be a long wait.
As always, I love your triolet.
Thank you… it’s easy once I have a good quatrain… and that one I test out on twitter…
Love the form and refraining lines ~ Hopefully spring is coming soon 🙂
Thank you… triolets is a wonderful form…
And these white Wood Anemones are my favourite, matching up beautifully to your quatrain.
I love the wood anemones… especially with under a ceiling of light green silver birches… May come sweet may.
Beautifully crafted poem, and thank goodness that spring is indeed here to stay!
Thank you
I just love triolets, Bjorn. What a lovely poem.

Thank you 🙂 Yes triolets are like little songs.
Oh just delightful, musical poem to sing in spring. Uplifting! 🙂
Thank you 🙂
Beautiful triolet, wonderful use of assonance and consonance. I’m not sure about ‘twixt’ though; if possible, I’d prefer a word that echoes the long ‘e’ of hear and trees in that line.
Here’s hoping that we can get a southerly air flow soon, so that spring arrives. We’re stuck with easterlies – which are very cold at this time of year.
Thank you… I always appreciate your feedback… and I fully agree on the twixt…
hear babbling brook, see blooming treas…would work I think….
I love this trilolet, and even though I’m not familiar with the form, reading this was like a breath of fresh, spring air 🙂 Beautiful!
Oh thank you 🙂
Cheers 🙂
susurrus is such a fine word…and a fine triolet; assonance, sibilance, alliteration, consonance…not having studied poetry, I need to understand these words…although I think I know what they mean…
I had to look them up as well… but wikipedia is a great source to learn poetry I think… 🙂
This is the second triolet I stumbled upon, I think I will have to try one myself. I always get confused about which is assonance, consonance and alliteration. I call it consonant agreement, and I don’t care if it comes on the stressed syllable or not… “children run around” is a fine example of what I like. The r’s just roll off nicely.
It confuses me as well. Thought more of alliteration when I wrote it.
A beautiful poem !
Thank you 🙂
I love the rich way this poem fills my mouth
Thank you 🙂
Really liked this one Bjorn. Super.
Thank you 🙂 a nice way to expand on a quatrain
