"The Zebra" - A Triolet

The Zebra


The zebra is a mighty steed
With racing stripes of black & white.
A large and handsome horse, indeed;
The zebra is a mighty steed.
The cheetah's dazed and loses speed
As op-art zebra takes to flight.
The zebra is a mighty steed
With racing stripes of black and white.

I have no idea what constitutes a triolet, but I'm guessing you did it right. And who cares if you didn't? This was an entertaining read and made me smile.

Great job.

Penelope is an unknown quantity at this point
This is spot on for a triolet. It also has the whimsy too which made it very engaging.

MisterSpider - GG is going through poetry style exploration like I do. I use this site - http://www.internetpoetsociety.tk/ for most of my research.

Underscore:

I disagree. If you would have said "triolet? more like toilet!", it would have been VERY funny.

Thank you!
