A Sweet Duet

A little game I have for you. Let’s sing a song of triolet. Eight syllables, iambic too. A little game I have for you. It isn’t all that hard to do. Will my friend Rob come out to play? A little game I have for you. Let’s sing a song of triolet. Of course, this game I’ll play with you. A sandbox sweet duet in tune. A mound of sand our stage debut. Of course, this game I’ll play with you. With every encore made anew, this friendship shades the afternoon. Of course, this game I’ll play with you. A sandbox sweet duet in tune. -------------------------------------------------- A collaboration with Andrea Dietrich

Perfectly constructed and rendered... kinda like a PANTOUM with its repetitive lines. Well done Rob. Best wishes, Keith

Great collaboration, Rob and Andrea, dances beautifully. I'll have a crack at it one day, when I've finally got all of the Tipp-ex off my screen from attempts at other things :). Regards, Viv

:) Hey, Mr I-like-to-study-human-nature, you should check out Craig Cornish's so long blog. First, make popcorn and get comfortable. Second, have antacids ready... I'm shaking my head.... AWK!!!!
