Experimenting with forms I wrote "Three Triolets" and posted them here on 11 June 2019. And here's a jeu d'esprit, "What is the Use of Grinning," written in April 1980.
---------
Salut Sir Sun who shines in daylong sear,
Water’s whispering wavelets weft in the ear.
Intellect’s inklings inch to an insight warm-starred,
Fulsomely fondling formulae which fable the year:
Peaceable pigeons patrol the promenade,
Salut Sir Sun who shines in daylong sear.
Guard though! Grim the garçon who gurns his aubade,
Huckstering hopes to handstand too near, too here –
Trailblaze trapezing will only trip to a tear.
Peaceable pigeons patrol the promenade,
Salut Sir Sun who shines in daylong sear,
Water’s whispering wavelets weft in the ear.
