If you are a member of the group Commenting Community, this contest is for you. I closed it to everyone else. Why don't you join this group?
-
Mamad, I can't tell you how happy I am to see someone else host a contest for the group!
I was just looking at my triolets too. 
-
Will have to brush up on this form - have never written one before. Thanks for hosting and giving us all a challenge.
-
ahh, sorry I am not in this group. I wish you the best in your contest

Develop new skills, you poets
It's good to have contests which encourage the development of form, rhyme, and other techniques or attributes.
I'd like to work on this more, but now I've got to go look for work. -
Woops didn't realize waht it was, tried to give back some with applauise. Glenda

I don't usually write triolets, But this looks like it will be fun for those that do. Have fun in it, and best of luck to all entries!

im guessing that seeing as how i have no idea what the commenting community is nor does troilet(niether english or french)exist in my vocabulary i dont believe ive ever heard or seen the word before as a matter of fact that im just better off to close my eyes and walk away and try to forget this ever happened.thanks anyways

My first ever triolet - thanks for giving me the opportunity to write one for this contest.
-
WOW. Thank you.

Thank you so much for the silver and the points. I have to turn this in for a grade so hopefully this is a good sign. Be blessed. Glenda

Hey!How can this be fair?You gave two trophies to Frodofan!You should have at least given the bronze to Grannyeri as Frodofan alreadywon a gold
-
Sorry you mistook the poem's subject - this is about Robin Hood type character in the forest roasting rabbit. Guess some people have dirty minds! Thanks for the HM for this first ever triolet! Congrats to the winners. Don't see anywhere where it says you can't enter more than one, but usually that is what the contests require - one entry each.
-
as I said I judged on the point system. The higher points got the trophies.
