The Life of Yo

New Prompt: I was listening to a song today that brought some cheer. It was the Yodeling song, about a man, that loved to hear yodeling. The old man loved to hear his name - Yo. Write a poem, using the "Triolet" as your form, to tell his life story. Maximum 6 stanzas.

The Triolet

The triolet is an old French form that is short and witty or more traditionally romantic. It has 8 lines in the rhyming scheme abaaabab. The first two lines (ab) and the last two lines(ab) are the same, as well as the first line and the fourth.

The Life of Yo

'Twas the night the wind howled
When Baby Yo was born
The wolves and beasts yowled
‘Twas the night the wind howled
His naked form was toweled
As he sang through the morn
‘Twas the night the wind howled
When Baby Yo was born

A peculiar thing did happen
From that moment on
His hands started clappin’
A peculiar thing did happen
His tongue began flappin’
At the same time each dawn
A peculiar thing did happen
From that moment on

Yo grew up always singing
In a strange sort of way
A new sound was springing
Yo grew up always singing
Weird noises bringing
Catchy tunes every day
Yo grew up always singing
In a strange sort of way

One day he was discovered
While his melody filled the air
His music uncovered
One day he was discovered
And when he recovered
His Yodel spread everywhere
One day he was discovered
While his melody filled the air.
