Hi Tom,
Without the snow, looks like the scene outside our windows. ;)
Beautiful... a lovely triolet and a gorgeous photograph as well.
Well done and I like the repeating line you've chosen.
Good luck in the contest!

Is that from your window, Tom? How wonderful to see that, and what a lot of snow! I thought your triolet very well done, my friend. Just outside my window, what a wonderful view to look upon. Good luck in this contest, another excellent entry. xsx Sandra.

Oh, do i envy your setting. A perfect photo to accompany your poem.
The triolet is an ideal format for this short tale as the refrains emphasize the beauty of what Nature provides.
One small flaw: in your last line "peaks" should be "peeks."
Enjoy that view for both of us! Rod

Nicely crafted triolet with good rhyme, flow and imagery. Love the photo with the deer in the snow, the repeating lines are strong. Best wishes for the contest.
Bless you

Wow--you truly captured this marvelous scene "Just outside" your window! I enjoyed your rhymes and alliteration of "was". Cheers- Joan

It is an awesome triolet and if that scene was outside my window, I will do nothing else than stare and do what I do best. That is daydreaming. A beautiful photo as well.

Treischel this is a simple triolet. I am wondering though if you meant to say peeks, not peaks? I wish you a lovely day and stay warm. Blessings, Patricia

    Thank you Pstricia. Yup, I'll have to fix that.
reply by patcelaw on 12-Jan-2016
    You still need to change the words peaks to peeks in the last line as well.

    Are you feeling okay sir? I ask because I am seeing more typos from you than usual.
reply by the author on 12-Jan-2016
    No, I was just tired, I guess. But thanks for your concern.

    I was a bit worried about you. Stay well and get as much rest as you can.

A neat triolet and the window certainly frames the world in a very human way so the doe appears as the interloper in man's world. Without the window we'd probably seethe picture as being the other way around.
