Guidelines: A Trio of Triolets Contest


A TRIO OF TRIOLETS CONTEST
Sponsored by the Rondeau Roundup
http://therondeauroundup.blogspot.com/

This contest is a contest for the triolet form of poetry.

A triolet is a poetic form with a set rhyme scheme and two refrains, indicated here by A and B:

A          I marched to set my spirit free--
B          took to the streets with old and young.
a          I marched to gain my liberty.
A          I marched to set my spirit free,
a          to shake the wrath of history,
b          to sing what needed to be sung.
A          I marched to set my sprit free,
B          took to the streets with old and young.     
                        Allison Joseph

  3. Same comment as Maryann - are previous publications allowed? Additionally - is there any requirement for the three triolets to relate to each other in any way?

  4. Maryann and Michael asked good questions, and I’m wondering myself, especially about the triolets relating to each other.
