Indar: A "triolet" belongs to family of medieval songs like the "rondeau".  The first line appears three times. When you publish your chap book of triolets I suggest a beautifully rendered drawing of a trillium for the cover art. :)   YES  !!!   Indar, yes !!!   Trillium as the cover art !!   Marce...

This Frenchman quotes Monty Python:  "and now for something completely different"

 
Hubris
 
 
With certainty and

Re: National Poetry Month Celebration 2019 - Post Poems Here!

Aimé I followed the YouTube link to "Aimé Duclos - The Kitchen Table Series". But definitely a male voice there.  Some interesting stuff though.  Will go back and listen to a few more later. Gyppo Gyppo -- you know AJDuclos is a male, right? Another Frenchman -- Marcel's brother. Songster, lyricist...
