I wrote this based on what I am hearing right now…I am in an office.

Typing About Memories

The clickety clack of the keys
Remind me of my old school days
Now I’m only blogging for fun
The clickety clack of the keys
So many letters, much to say
Putting it of for another day
The clickety clack of the keys
Remind me of my old school days

Sarah’s prompt guidelines

This week’s challenge is to write a Triolet — a short, musical poem that circles back on itself through repetition and rhyme — about something ordinary.

🖋️ What’s a Triolet?

A Triolet is an 8-line poem where lines repeat in a beautiful rhythm:

  • Lines 1, 4, and 7 are the same, and lines 2 and 8 are also repeated.
  • The rhyme scheme looks like this: ABaAabAB (uppercase = repeated lines).

If you’d like to make it a little trickier, try writing each line with 8 syllables (iambic tetrameter, the classic French style) — or challenge yourself with 10 syllables per line (the English version).

You can find more details and examples here:
Shadow Poetry – Triolet

🎨 Theme: “The Mundane Object”

Your subject should be something beautifully ordinary — an object or sound from daily life.
If you’re stuck, here are a few ideas:

  • ☕ a favorite mug
  • 🚪 a doorknob
  • 👟 a worn-out shoe
  • 📓 a notebook
  • 📦 a box
  • 🖌️ a dab of paint
  • 🔔 a sound you can hear right now

✨ The golden rule:

Have fun with it!
Let something small inspire something lyrical.

  12. I learned touch-typing on an old typewriter when I was in school. It’s the kind of nostalgia that I don’t really wish to revisit but it did teach one to be careful and more thoughtful when writing, when mistakes were not so easy to fix.

    Nice one! 👏
