If I had 6, I'd give it. This is beautiful and touches my own love lost. I too wish I could bend time and hold tight to my loved one that died. Great job in writing so beautifully, yet touching such real feelings of loss at once.

My ignorance of this genre is the reason for my rating - as a comparative newby to the site, I'm still learning about the different genres of poetry. I just write as my muse dictates. My impression of this gentle work is that of a sensitive soul mourning the loss of his love. It is artistic in presentation and well constructed in flow - a singularly emotional rendering...

Alvin, I just happened to be browsing old poetry, and I must say this is astounding, And has inspired me to work on not only my triolet approach, but broaden the way i write poems as well. I believe this is Phenomenal. What did you place? LMK!

beautifully written Alvin I have never heard of triolet verse before and obviously you are bounded by the parameters and rules of this style. i am continually on a learning curve of new terms and styles that have presented themselves as a new reviewer coming to this site. I love to write rhyming poetry myself and feel that there is a skill to not only rhyme a poem phonetically but that it also makes sense literally.
you have ticked all boxes, congratulations

Hello Alvin,

A very beautiful Triolet. I especially liked the following lines - dramatic opening:

You dwell in time that does not end
Amongst the shadows of my heart.
I wish, like willows, I could bend - (Wow! great analogy and good imagery)

As this is a contest entry, I wish you good luck.

Keep the blue waters flowing. Regards, LateBloomer

This is a very strong poem and I think you did a very good job expressing a loss of someone and how someone dwells of stuff. Good work.

I love your poem. It is sad that they can't be together, but that's how love is sometimes. I like the words you rhyme and the message you transmit. Lovely poem! :)

Beautifully written.
You followed the triolet form perfectly.
So sad though, to be "forced apart" and now "grief takes your soul to rend".
Great work!

"You dwell in time that does not end....", what a beautiful beginning to a poem! The second line only reinforces those thoughts.Triolets are NOT my favorite type of poetry beacuse I've never really liked repetitive lines, but with the heartfelt words in this poem I made an exception. You really put a LOT of emotion in this short poem and that added to its power.

Congratulations on your second place tie in the Triolet contest. You deserved it my friend! :o) Nancy
