When inspiration seems to flag and we cannot seem to find the words needed to produce that epic poem or finish the chapter or story whose fashioning simply refuses to come to fruition...sometimes stepping back and trying another approach can be incredibly useful in smashing the hellish wall.

One of the most unlikely, and overlooked options one can try, is a simple form known as the Triolet.

The triolet is a very simplistic fixed form of French origin dating as far back as the thirteenth century and has managed to keep itself finding a way to the poet's page throughout the centuries. Often recommended by Keith E. Sparks Jr. as a pleasant diversion that can keep a writer writing even when they cannot find the path to the epics they desire. So it was that He accepted a 30 day challenge to write at least one Triolet a day for 30 days to demonstrate the usefulness of the form in combatting both writer's block and/or a lack of time.

This book is the end result of challenges accepted by Keith E. Sparks Jr. having been brought together and chronicled in a diverse collection of topics and form experimentation. (mixing triolet with the Cento and Hidden Message poems) It is Keith's hope that people will find, not only a pleasant read, but a weapon against writer's block and a way to shatter the wall...
