This was written for the CPC Thematic Attic Thursday poetry challenge.  Hosts Diane and Bettie want writes about roller coasters, and/or birthday wishes for absent host Jon aka A Rhodi, who is battling a serious eye injury.

This week we’re writing Triolets about favorite actors and actresses on the TCM August schedule list.  So I did mine as a double in that format.  Dedicated to Jon, a swift and full recovery!

From ShadowPoetry.com: A Triolet is a poetic form consisting of only 8 lines.  Within a Triolet, the 1st, 4th, and  7th lines repeat, and the 2nd and 8th lines do as well.  The rhyme scheme is simple:  ABaAabAB, capital letters representing the repeated lines.
