My poem: Cold Stream triolet

[stonepicnicking_okapi]

I saw some inspiring entries in the oversized children's book Historium: Welcome to Museum by Jo Nelson. This is a triolet about a prehistoric drawing on a stone found in South Africa.




on painted stone of old cold stream
are figures three, laid by old bones,
in red, in black, in white, they dream
on painted stone of old cold stream,
with quiver and with bow, they seem
to dance into some old unknowns
on painted stone of old cold stream
are figures three, laid by old bones

I do like that - great picture of the painting.

Thank you! It was a very large children's book with all kinds of museum artifacts clearly described and I found it very inspiring. There was mention of an Isle of Lewis chess set which I may write about, too.

Oh, I have not heard about that stone before, thank you for telling about it-- and for the grand triolet! It fits perfectly. :)

Thank you! I like oversized picture books and this one I checked out ostensibly for the boys to read but I got a lot out of it, too.
