So many possibilities.
Yet still we have our families.
To justify our time on earth:
So many possibilities
Begin with every baby’s birth.

As will noted, you're my biggest fan.

As I've noted, and don't mind noting again, you're incapable of

a poem like that. (It's called a "triolet" BTW.)

Of course, you're welcome to prove me wrong.
There is reason why it was never used and why, you may ask?

No, I'd rather ask what. What was never used? The triolet? It's been
used hundreds, possibly thousands of times.
Your baby birth poem is negative--'years conspire to decrease' told to
the parents of the new born. but then told, oh, well, there is family to
fall back on
"Years conspire to decrease possibilities" is something everyone should
know, even you. Compare the possibilities you had as a child, and look
at you now, with have very few possibilities left. Having children, "oh
well," is the means of reopening all those possibilities again.

That poem certainly touched a nerve in you. But we're discussing this

Do you think you're up to writing a triolet?

Your poem is horrid.

Let's see you write a better one.

Your poem was never used, jerk-off, with no explanation.

I didn't say it was "never used." I said it wasn't in the book; and the
explanation was the book never happened.

Do you want me to write double lines, repeat double thoughts?

Once again: I want you to write a triolet, if you think you're capable.

I'll decide when I win or lose, thanks.
Well put, George.
