Triolets Comments

I like these; you have truly mastered this form. I esp. like the last one - a love song - probably the best use of the triolet of the 3. The middle one is very good too, alternating tetrameter with trimeter to give it a freshness and slightly humorous turn. The first is my least favorite, only because, i think, it has a heaviness (much like the heavy meal you mention) . But it also manages to sound witty, (pop-pop fizz-fizz oh what a relief it is, lol) I really admire your ability with form. Thank you for sharing.

The chosen subject of each of these triolets fits this form perfectly. 'Christmas Dinner' exudes over-indulgence, 'the insomniac spouse's complaint' (wonderful title) epitomises the anguish of a sleepless night, and 'The power of a word' - well, it's 'all a-flutter...' - inspirational examples. S :)
