Spectator No. 3241 called for spring triolets. The thread is probably still there if you search for it. Here's mine that they published:
Every spring I quite forget
that this is just a ritual.
The warmth performs its show, and yet
every spring I quite forget
that spring is how a trap gets set.
My folly is habitual.
Every spring I quite forget
that this is just a ritual.
Actually, I just saw that they published a second one of mine (under my Erato name, Roger Slater):
I tried to write a triolet
about my love of spring
and found I had but this to say:
‘I tried to write a triolet
in praise of April, June and May
but ended up just blathering
“I tried to write a triolet
about my love of spring.”’
