“Rose,” A Double Triolet Poem

I.

A maid and muse, her name is Rose;

which inspires me to write this song

that trills a sound which sweetly flows.

A maid and muse, her name is Rose;

a ray of hope who comes and goes

when the time's neither right nor wrong.

A maid and muse, her name is Rose;

which inspires me to write this song.

II.

This song, which flows from heart to heart,

that trills a sound which sweetly flows

in a way that makes beautiful art;

this song, which flows from heart to heart,

brings us together though we're apart:

a maid and muse, her name is Rose

(this song, which flows from heart to heart,

that trills a sound which sweetly flows).
