TREASURED STILL (A Toytime Triolet Duet)

A Toytime Triolet Duet





TREASURED STILL

Upon a shelf my toys still nest,
my favorite bears and paper planes.
I still think that they’re the best,
upon a shelf my toys still nest.
We play each day and hardly rest,
sweet paper dolls and trucks and cranes.
Upon a shelf my toys still nest,
my favorite bears and paper planes.

Childhood treasures cherished and loved,
no matter that they’re tattered and worn;
We still get together and have fun every day,
childhood treasures cherished and loved.
My favorite bears and paper planes,
playing dress-up even if clothes are torn;
childhood treasures cherished and loved
no matter that they’re tattered and worn.

According to ShadowPoetry.com,
the triolet format:

According to ShadowPoetry.com,

"A Triolet is a poetic form consisting of only 8 lines. Within a Triolet, the 1st, 4th, and 7th lines
repeat, and the 2nd and 8th lines do as well. The rhyme scheme is simple: ABaAabAB, capital
letters representing the repeated lines."
