I enjoyed reading this poem. The picture goes well with the poem. Written well. I'm just learning about poems. I didn't realize there are so many different kinds. This is an interesting pattern

Dear Melissa,
There are not enough sixes to give! This is a beautifully written and illustrated triolet. It's simplicity and repeated lines appeal to me. I must try this.
Sublime! Sending you my best today as always.

Melissa,

This is a great poem. I don't think I have every heard of a Triolet until today. It's a very interest style. The rhyme scheme is great and I like the droning bees.

I always feel bad when I mow the grass, because the bees seem to like the dandelions.

Well done my friend.

Cecilia

Wow! Wow! Wow! Faced with your skill, I'm speechless. Seriously. You picked such a hard format. All that rhyming and repeating! I could not do it. The repeating makes it a little easier, makes for less lines to write. But then it makes it harder because they have to flow in all positions.
Remarkable job.

Great use of monorhyme, and excellent repeating lines. Your word choices are interesting. I especially like dappled shade. This presents a feeling of calm and peace. It is wonderful to find a place where the rushing pace of life is stayed. Excellent work. judi

I just love this sentence of "slow, droning bees sing serenades." The buzzing of the bees may sound annoy but if it is a serenade, it must be beautiful. I only see one rhyming among all eight lines.

Well done.

This triolet, Reality Fades, has the proper formatting and lowers the readers into the subfoliage to where life is slowed to what is absolutely necessary.

You have a delicious use of words that takes the reader to another place. I love the repeating line " slow droning bees sing serenades." It shows nature in action and even bees can make us feel good. Your poetic form is smooth and has an almost musical feel to it.
