The Old Blue Bus
She traveled the roads in style
That old blue bus of mine
Over hills and dales she puttered
Yes, she traveled those roads in style
Alas, old age and the many miles traveled eventually took their toll
To the pasture she was retired, but still in my memories…
She traveled the roads in style
That old blue bus of mine

This is a triolet poem I wrote for a writing challenge over at Multiply.com. A triolet is a poem form that is eight lines long and where the first, fourth and seventh lines are the same (or close to the same) and the second and last lines are the same.

Today, while I was at work, my cousin stole my iPad and tested
to see if it can survive a 25 foot drop, just so she can be a youtube sensation. My apple ipad is now destroyed and she has 83 views.
I know this is entirely off topic but I had to share it with someone!
