Poetry: Clarity

by Linda Ann Nickerson

TRIOLET TO-DO TODAY

I just don't get it.
Perhaps I am delayed.
I just don't get it.
A five-chore list I've made.
I just don't get it.
The edges, they are frayed.
I just don't get it.
My focus, it has strayed.
I just don't get it . . . done.




(A triolet is a poem with five unique lines, as one line is repeated five times. A triolet need not rhyme, but this one adds both rhyme and meter for fun.)
