Two Triolets

Two triolets for my loyal readers.  The first is one written by Gail White called "Worker Bees":
Staring at fluorescent screens,
letting life pass by unheeded,
little better than machines
staring at fluorescent screens,
we’ll pass on our altered genes
to generations who’ll be seated
staring at fluorescent screens,
letting life pass by unheeded.
True story.  The second is my very amateur attempt at triolet poetry.  I call it "Loyalty":
I sit next to you,
And you sit next to me.
When storms are all a-brew
I just sit next to you.
We don't need the lee;
We enjoy the breeze
When I sit next to you
And you sit next to me.
 And there you have it.  I hope you enjoyed our little excursion into medieval French poetry.
