I absolutely mangled my first go at this new form by Jane Dougherty, the Florescence, by completely overlooking the final rhyme. As promised, my do-over. A little more “spicy” than the first, which I like very much! Amazing what comes of following the rules! 😉

A silly Triolet for NaPoWriMo’s early bird prompt: to write a poem in the form of a love letter. The object of my affection is pictured below, but don’t peak until after you read my poem! 😉
Dear, Sweet Maxwell,
What thoughts rattle in that big head of yours?
Sometimes I think I can hear you thinking,
voice like a whisper; that’s crazy, of course.
What thoughts rattle in that big head of yours?
Well, chatty you’re not, but I could do worse.
You’re a real charmer, happy tail wagging.
What thoughts rattle in that big head of yours?
Sometimes I think I can hear you thinking.
I Love You My Maxi-Poo,
Mama Kat

Persephone smiles
and the earth blooms, its vespers,
spring’s fragrant, first breath.
