This reminds me of the fable, the Billy Goats Gruff, This is a great story and I did enjoy reading it. The picture of the car speeding away from what looks like a whirlwind can be interpreted as the car running away from a troll. Thank you for sharing.

LOL, Billy goats gruff! I think that was in the back of my mind as well. I'm happy that you enjoyed the pic, too.

I appreciate your continued attention to my portfolio, and thanks again!

Luna,

I thought that it was very cute. The flow was nice. It was a pleasure to read.
Your theme was well defined. This poem was arranged very well. Telling things very plainly and comprehensibly.

There were no problems that I saw.

I look forward to seeing you again.

Love you,

Oatmeal

Oatmeal, I'm happy that you saw this for what it was, nothing deep, but simply a nonsense poem. Thanks for your kind comments surrounding it.

I look forward to seeing you again, as well.

I appreciate your continued attention to my portfolio, and thanks again!

Hi

This is a very pleasant triolet to read, all the rules of the repeating rhymes are well done. Three million miles is a long way away.

Nicely done. Mary

This troll must live on the planet Saturn or such. This was a well-written poetic voice. It flowed well and was an easy poem to read. I enjoyed reading this excellent piece of poetic art... John

John, I'm really happy that you enjoyed this piece. Thanks for your kind words. You were somehow deleted from my fan list, so I'm "fanning" you again...

Oh, I love the fat and grumpy troll. What a merry old soul he isn't once he starts to play. So far away from mother moon.

A wonderful triolet. It's fanciful and fun, and showcases your great talent in fantasy.

Have a great weekend,
Rhonda

I find your poem to be very original & playful with well-crafted imagination. The only drawback for me is that there's too much repetition for such a short poem. Three out of eight lines are the same, plus there are other repeated phrases. I'd love to see this fanciful idea fleshed out to include more of your playful observations.

I do enjoy reading triolets, because they are so clever and I can't write them! This is such a fun one, which makes for a light and happy read. The repeating line slips in perfectly each time. But most of all I love it because it is a silly poem that children would also love. Well done! :) Sandra xxx

Thanks, Sandra!

I thank you for this gracious review. I bet you could indeed write a triolet. It's funny, many of my poems do seem as though they could be written for children. I spoke to a publisher once who wanted me to put them into a book and have the story be that the children had gone to bed and dreaming, with each poem being a dream!

We'll see...

Yours, jeni

What a lovely triolet! I've never tried this form before, but I've been meaning to have a go.

You have some wonderful alliteration:

Three million miles from Mother Moon,

Thanks for sharing.

I'm totally knocked off guard for the six - star review you gave this poem I didn't even think it was going to go ever well.

Thanks for reading and this exceptional review, Jane ❤️❤️

I think this is the first nonsense triolet I have read. The form adapts well to the nonsense mood and this is a fine triolet with all the required repeats in the right places. I may be telling you something you already know but I wonder if you are aware that the punctuation can be changed, although the words must remain the same, in the repeating lines to create a different sense.

My friend,

I'm so glad that you thought the form adapted well to the mood of the poem. I'm FULL of nonsense!

And no, I didn't think about changing the punctuation in the refrains...I'm going to try that. I'm sure it will better my work.

I appreciate your continued attention to my work...Thanks to the moon and back!

reply by Pantygynt on 23-Nov-2016

The punctuation changes can be great fun.
