Taking Chances on a Triolet
by Nancy Bailey Miller


Just take the plunge. Leap from the boat.

Though you wear glasses, shoes and phone,

it’s not a crisis. Swim or float!

Just take the plunge. Leap from that boat;

the other shore may be remote

yet worth the effort. Kick or groan

but take the plunge. Leap from the boat—

you can replace your shoes and phone.
