NaPoWriMo #30: A triolet and a quatern

The prompt was "a poem that starts at the ending of something and works backward to the beginning". I really wanted to write about a story with a tragic ending and the beauty along the way, but instead all I could come up with were refrains about the subject that I worked into these poetry forms.

*

Is the story not worth telling If there's sorrow at the ending? If the journey is compelling Is the story not worth telling? Those whose days with life were swelling Could not know the doom impending Is the story not worth telling If there's sorrow at the ending?

*

If at the end the hero fails Does it destroy the other tales? Are there not moments of glory Though a failure ends the story?

We still care for those first details If at the end the hero fails. The sorrow, striving, hope and love Before the doom falls from above

Worth much more than the final win Or failure from his fatal sin (If at the end the hero fails From following forbidden trails)

Are all the virtues so hard-won That linger when the tale is done What's beautiful and true prevails If at the end the hero fails

The beauty of the whole ''don't tell the reader things, let them make things up" philosophy is if I'm not telling readers things, I don't have to make them up. Unless I want to.

Look, it's basic science. If the fairies don't paint the flowers with their tiny little paintbrushes full of dewdrops and rainbows, they won't attract pollinators and there will be famine. Do you want famine, Bob?

Suddenly struck by the need for a story about a Victorian lady naturalist who studies those cutesy Victorian flower fairies, but like, as a completely dead-serious scientific endeavor--just because they're adorable and feminine and impossibly twee doesn't mean they're not a vital component of the ecosystem, Bob.

She's got a room full of displays of beautiful little flower fairies--all carefully preserved and stuck up with pins. Children have run away screaming.

She's probably unable to get accepted by the serious scientific community, so she's stuck using her insanely detailed scientific drawings to write children's books like Beatrix Potter.
