true patience is a virtue learned
as seasons go and come and go
life to death to life things flow
when endings take a lively turn
as seasons go and come and go
true patience is a virtue learned

it takes a certain fearlessness,
a heart that’s not afraid to break,
to love someone for loving’s sake,
no strings attached, in selflessness,
a heart that’s not afraid to break,
it takes a certain fearlessness

everything is not a battle
sometimes it can feel that way
after all, there are bills to pay
obstacles, that have us rattled
sometimes it can feel that way
everything is not a battle

be gentle with yourselves my dears
everyone has imperfections
you deserve the warm affection
of that person in the mirror
everyone has imperfections
be gentle with yourselves my dears

The Biolet (a shorter version of the Triolet) is a poem of 6 lines, typically of eight syllables each, rhyming ABbaBA and so structured that the first line recurs as the sixth and the second as the fifth.

with a kiss we bid adieu
to another year, now spent,
pour the bubbly, raise your flutes,
sing for auld lang syne

And it’s a wrap! 2018 is ticking to a close (thank goodness!) and this month’s exploration of the poetry form called a Dodoitsu. I’m also thanking goodness for that too. It’s an ok form as forms go, but I think I’ve written enough dodoitsus to last a lifetime! Well, 31 to be exact. Like I said! 🤪)
Wishing you and those you love a bright and happy new year filled with peace, happiness, good health and prosperity. 2019…ready or not, here we come! 😊
