The Triolet Trail

[Perscribo]

Unrepentant independence
procures new maps, deities, deeds,
doctrines written with eloquence.
Unrepentant independence
disregards final consequence
that comes from mixing blood and seeds.
Unrepentant independence
procures new maps, deities, deeds.

(Sorry! It may be easier to remove plurals and/or tweak that last line a bit to make the next triolet construction easier.)

 

[poetinahat]

procure new maps, deities, deeds
turn each one lightly in your hand
then pocket them, these sacred beads;
procure new maps, deities, deeds

again. Then, when your wonder leads
you away, follow its command:
“procure new maps, deities, deeds…
turn each one lightly in your hand”

 

[Perscribo]

Turn each one lightly in your hand.
Float into a tin cup of dreams.
See each plight in this freedom land.
Turn each one. Lightly, in your hands,
heart, and mind, try to understand
what tragedy, what lack of means,
turned each. One, lightly in your hand,
floats into a tin cup of dreams.
