Triolet 9

Day six of radioactivity
I'm reaching for my leper's bell
The finches signal serendipity
Day six of radioactivity
The aspens gesture opportunity
I take the hint, peer down the well
Day six of radioactivity
I'm reaching for my leper's bell.

Triolet 8

You have slowed my furtive step.
You have gifted me a pause.
Perhaps time to be adept.
You have slowed my furtive step.
You stand with me when I weep.
I am wrapped in your sweet gauze.
You have slowed my furtive step.
You have gifted me a pause.

I am pleased and tutored by your offerings, dear poets. Marcel

Triolet 7

You wear the crown of thorns
You pay the price of truth
You tease us by the horns
You wake us in the morn
You bless our lack of couth
You wear the crown of thorns
You pay the price of truth
