When bloom of bloodshed´s darkly bled;
see corpses rise from soil and grave.
the zombies dance to songs of dread;
when bloom of bloodshed´s darkly bled
through rain and wind this troop of death
come knock on windows; friends be brave.
When bloom of bloodshed´s darkly bled;
see corpses rise from soil and grave.

Marion shares all the 30 different words for November poetry at toads. I have used some to create a little triolet. I will also link to Poetry Pantry tomorrow.

Björn Rudbergs writings 
‘When bloom of bloodshed´s darkly bled; see corpses rise from soil and grave’… this is so chilling! I can truly picture those corpses rising from the graves!
I will be brave if you are. Also, do I get a hammer? Or, at least, a chainsaw that is not too heavy?
P.S. Your troilet made me think of Thriller.
This was a painful read for me, Bjorn, as I am not into the zombie thing. I really don’t understand the fascination & think I must be missing something.
I will take a couple of baseball bats.
Walking Dead is a guilty pleasure of mine. And ironically, the danger always seems to be as much if not more from the other humans doing what it takes to survive than the dead.
A wet red kiss.
Scary….
Not what I expected, but as a fan of zombies myself, greatly enjoyed.
Excellent use of the form.. I tried Triolet a few times but ended up with a very silly nursery rhyme type poem.. yours is lovely.
Ouch! Quite a Dance of Death! Or a Triolet,trilling in thrill!
the rhyme soothes the dread in this piece. Great write Bjorn
Happy Sunday
much love…
I am in love with the way you used the rhythm of the form to create such a shudder inducing piece.
So you’ve visited my neighbourhood then? :o] (Life (and death) here are as you write. :o])
Seriously – love your lovely gory words.
Anna :o]
I love that first (repeated) line–such lovely sounds for a poem about zombies. 🙂 Wonderful job on the triolet.
Love it! Friends be brave! Wonderful. Honestly I think any poem about zombies has to be in strict form in order to work. 🙂
once more you have risen – to yet another form –
p.s. I like your side links to all the types of poetry
It was not too difficult to do… you can do menus based on the tags…
Oh my goodness, the beat of the poem like marching hordes…. amazing.
A zombie triolet. Pretty cool. Your repeated line is a really strong one. I would try a triolet if I could come with a line that good. Smiles.
Your words are gory, but the image is absolutely ghastly! I will shudder for days! 😉
Geesh Brudberg !
Oh for God’s sake, B! Good one. I’m passing it on to my granddaughter, she’ll love it.
Without a doubt a walk on the dark side!
I thought of Thriller too with this and now the Walking Dead…..zombies!
Zombies sort of freak me out. I don’t know why…
This haunting incantation is brilliantly constructed … the wording (rhyme, cadence and impact) bang on. I can imagine it popped into any number of appropriately themed books, plays or scripts … to great effect.
Nice triolet, Bjorn. Not nice in subject matter, but nicely written for the form. The repeated lines, “When bloom of bloodshed´s darkly bled,” are to me very catchy.

A splendid triolet!

When bloom of bloodshed´s darkly bled;
see corpses rise from soil and grave.
Bloodshed and corpses would likely come together in a package as in this case. Eerie triolet and effectively presented!

I wonder about zombies?
A zombie’s dance must be intriguing to watch. Good flow- eloquently written.
Interesting post about zombies, Bjorn. On a lighter note, I just watched Coco, an animated film about not really zombies but a look about after life.
Yikes. A thrilling, macabre picture, Bjorn. It works really well in the triolet form.
Such a delightful lilt and rhyme for something completely opposite. 🙂
Splendid! In fact, I just uploaded a ‘Triolet’ of my own onto my blog. It’s linked below. I’d love it if you would have a look over it and leave me some tips on how to improve. I’m sure I could learn a lot from you. I hope you like it!
