Zorba’s Confession

Third Triolet

“Yes, I was once married,
Wife, kids, house--the full catastrophe.”
forced into being prematurely buried,
Yes, I was once married,
but I never should have carried
her over that threshold; poor me;
Yes, I was once married,
Wife, kids, house--the full catastrophe.”

Oh my gosh, Glenn. You are SO funny! You are really getting into these triolets. I love this:

"the full catastrophe"

Hilarious synopsis. :) It's interesting how our perspectives change depending on where we sit along the timeline.

You are on a roll! This one flows so easily over the tongue, one almost doesn't notice the triolet. Yes!

Well done. I was sure my comment had gone into cyberspace until I realized you had done multiples. Really good captures in all.

These are actually quite superbly crafted and flow off the tongue wonderfully
