Wow, those boats look like they've seen better days already, even without the ice. That can't be very good for a boat! Lol. Nice job on the triolet, Tom, about your observations in your life. "From houseboat to an ice display" describes the situation succinctly :)

What a sad happening to the house boat. I am sure the owners will not be very happy when they come back and find out what happened. Patricia

This is a very playful poem. Nice lyrical rhyming. Well thought out. The repeat line works together very nicely. Good flow of rhymes too. Wonderfully written. Keep up the great work. Have a good weekend :)

Tom,
I really want to commend you on a triolet that is well crafted. It is so hard to make these things so that those refrain lines don't come bouncing in sounding like foghorns - but yours are soft and sweet and delicate. Perfect! Enjoyed it soooo much! Thanks - and I'm with you. I'm glad I'm not an owner!

Great picture Tom. What a tragedy for someone. I don't think they can resolve it until the thaw. Great triolet, well done. Thanks for sharing the things you see and photograph. I for one appreciate it. Best Regards. Nancy

Hi TREISCHEL,
someone is not going to be to happy when he sees his boat frozen solid. The triolet is a good choice for this poem as it brings home the seriousness of the situation with the repeated line.

As you said,some boat owner is going to be terribly distressed when he comes home.
The Triolet is an ideal poetic form to use to describe what happened. The refrain truly emphasizes the starkness of this scene.

Here is one guy who does not need to come to my class on European forms. At least not where triolets are concerned. Lol.
Nice one, Tom. Serve them right for leaving their boats to the mercy of the ice.

Comment from Sandra du Plessis
A very well-written Triolet. That seems to be massive damage to the structure of the boathouse. The owners will surely be upset when they come back to find this.
