Excellent A modified triolet Thirty (hopefully) Poems for April : A Gentle Spin by Debra White

I dusted off my mountain bike and took it for a gentle spin. You should have seen the mud. - Oh yikes! I’d dusted off my mountain bike. That squelchy type I so dislike entrapped my wheels. I toppled in. I dusted off my mountain bike - I’d hoped to have a gentle spin.     Author Notes I'm late starting NaPoWriMo this year, but I hope to catch up and write 30 poems in April. Today I am using the prompt for day 4 from napowrimo.net Write a triolet - A triolet is an eight-line poem. All the lines are in iambic tetramenter (for a total of eight syllables per line), and the first, fourth, and seventh lines are identical, as are the second and final lines. This means that the poem begins and ends with the same couplet. Beyond this, there is a tight rhyme scheme (helped along by the repetition of lines) ABaAabAB. My triolet is based on what actually happened yesterday, the only difference being that I was with my husband and not on my own. Needless to say, he thought it most amusing when I fell into the mud!
