I’m careful to enunciate my R’s.
In my roomful of books I’ll never read.
My diction is quite proper, with no flaws.
I’m careful to enunciate my R’s.
It’s not that I am hoping for applause.
Broad knowledge has it’s place, I do concede.
I’m careful to enunciate my R’s.
In my roomful of books I’ll never read.
As far as I can remember, this is my very first attempt at a TRIOLET (DVERSEPOETS) .
Hi, Frank. Welcome! This is a fabulous poem, and very creative. For my challenge, we write syllabic poetry. It’s all in the counting of syllables. This cheatsheet will help you on your way: https://colleenchesebro.com/poetry-form-cheatsheet-2/. 😀

Thanks . Having noticed my mistake, I wrote a second poem too, a cinquain, which is immediately after it.

Very nice triolet. The repeated line reminds me of all those books I will never read as well.

I remember growing up having problems even pronouncing the letter R… (In Swedish we have to do it by letting the tongue vibrate against the teeth)

Yes, each accent has its share of problems with its pet consonants
