You hold so much filled to the brim
Morning hope, solace, peace
Unfortunately these days are grim
You hold so much filled to the brim
In you I find grim’s antonym
One soothing sip brings release
You hold so much filled to the brim
Morning hope, solace, peace
This week’s W3 challenge is to write a Triolet about something ordinary.
What’s a Triolet? It’s 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).
I start every day reading and drinking a cup of coffee. It sets my day right.

I love that you used antonym as a rhyme- that just makes it so much more adventurous!
Oh — those adventurous antonyms!😆 I just felt like it said what I wanted to say. Thanks, Violet!
Sally although others used the cup/mug as their object yours was very clever! I loved your word choice! Woot!!
Morning hope, solace and peace indeed!!
I love this: grim’s antonym. Good poem!
Hooray for coffee. 👏
It’s the most important meal of the day
Just holding the mug brings solace and peace. Loved this.
Isn’t that the truth?
‘grim’s antonym’ – love it.
Great poem, Sally!

“You hold so much filled to the brim” — I feel that line captures how ritual and comfort can live in the smallest moments. This triolet feels grounding to me. ☕
