Napowrimo 2023, Day 4
Today’s challenge is to write a triolet, an eight-line poem where all the lines are in iambic tetramenter (for a total of eight syllables per line), and the first, fourth, and seventh lines are identical, as are the second and final lines. This means that the poem begins and ends with the same couplet.
If Daffodils could inject laughter,
Would Spring spike faster in our veins?
Surely, we would all smile faster,
If Daffodils could inject laughter!
But maybe there is nothing dafter,
Than flowers that can drug our brains.
If Daffodils could inject. Laughter
would spring spike faster in our veins.

Wonderful! I’ll take a shot, please! (Though I feel that I’ve just been injected with one, thanks to your triolet.)

I totally feel an influx of joy when I look at a daffodil, so I think you’re right! And look, spring is here!

Loved the way you played with the punctuation. Great response to the prompt, Graham. They do in fact inject joy, if not laughter, in me. 🙂
