When I saw what a triolet was I didn’t think it would be very expressive or useful.But after writing a few I began to get a feel for it in this one below so I am really pleased with the form.The song-like quality appeals to me too.I have changed some of the lines so the copies are not exact.In this triolet, that fitted very well when I changed speaker to listener
As we loved
The honeyed words invented as we loved
Now have no other speaker but myself
Lost, unique, the husband, still beloved
The honeyed words invented as we loved
From my speech, our words must be removed.
I can no longer use our words, our wealth.
The chosen words invented as we loved
Now have no other listener but myself
