This crock rocks! (Triolet)



Beautiful one, from the land down under
Please satisfy this unquenchable thirst
Your name alone evokes such wonder
Beautiful one, from the land down under

I’ll drink your passion and ride the thunder
Savoring your taste; you'll always come first
Beautiful one, from the land down under
Please satisfy this unquenchable thirst


Author notes

This is written in the Triolet form.  

*Velvet Crocodile* is the drink I chose.  I saw the name of this drink and immediately thought of Fluttaby, knowing that she is from Australia, hence the “down under” part of this.  

Ingredients:
1 oz. Gin
1 oz. Grapefruit Juice
1 oz. Cranberry Juice

    Excellent!

    LOL! Truly intoxicating!! This one's a delight to the eyes and makes the mouth smile too..lol. A double delight if you may like that The triolet form has been followed to perfection here with the wonderful meter, rhyme and all. I love the fact that you added a recipe down under(pun intended!!!) My favorite line in this triolet is "I'll drink your passion and ride the thunder".

    Do come check out my recipes at www.recipezaar.com

    Best always,
    Charishma

    It's nice to see that you were diverse in your entries in terms of form. Great job on the triolet and it has a nice smooth flow with a hint of sensuality. Nicely done yet again.

    This is so melodic! I love the rhythm and the repeated rhyme. Such a peaceful sense of intoxication is released in you words. I simply love this poem, and I see that our gorgeous wench Fluttaby does too. Great job! The best to you in the challenge.

    A triolet is a form I'll leave to the experts. I'll never try it as I don't like repeating lines, unless of course, it's a pattern or otherwise a song However, you have done well expressing your surreptitious desires I have to admit, you've got a lot of talent indeed. I have a feeling you might be tied with someone when judging time comes The Butterfly will have you captivated with one look and that everlasting perfume of hers. Well done!

    Many blessings,

    She's a beauty ain't she. She is gonna snap you up and make you beg to be swallowed. How yummy. She'll have you drunk on the smell alone. A very nice tribute to a beautiful butterfly.

    Yeah... we know what provoked you with the thought of DOWN UNDER... buds. You were thinking about a trek through the out back... indeed...through the BUSH.

    LOL You got me thinking... wouldn't it be grand to have a drink named Velvet Cock-a-do or some such? When I saw the name of your poem I thought you might have made a typo and it was supposed to be Velvet Crotch So... would a Velvet Croc be considered a smooth snapper? Hahahahaha... you fellas are just too much fun once you get wound up. Lovely offering John
