Gentle winds talk to me too. Not the winds that rattle the house and my nerves :) I love this poem. I also like the photograph you have chosen to complement it. A beautiful triolet to share with Brooke. Where I live there are also trees growing on a slant because of the prevailing winds. This week we experienced an earthquake and severe rain/flooding. But my 100+ year old house stood up fine and protected me well. All's well that end's well. I'm just hoping for our wonderful Brooke's return. Thanks so much for sharing this excellent poem.
:) Lise

Jan,
As always you did an excellent job in the penning of another great triolet. Your poems have this unique flow and rhythm about them everything fits together and beautifully expressed. Once again, Brooke will be honored. Thanks for sharing. Blessings Portia

I' glad you've been inspired to try these different forms of poetry. Lovely imagery of the wind whispering your name. Swirling, carried, and whispering are excellent action words. Clearly expressed thought about someone who realizes she is not to blame for a bad outcome (to a relationship) and is at last free of the unpleasant memories. judi

Good job! Brooke will be proud of you. :)

The poem follows the correct format for a sonnet (the title says triolet, but I think is a sonnet? I could be wrong. I've been known to be wrong before). I like the picture and the background color, it complements the poem well.

Thank you so much for your review. I think with the repeating lines that it cannot be a sonnet. I have not tried writing a sonnet but would like to learn.

A beautiful piece, art to match.

I appreciate your explanation, I am not familiar with the struggle Brooke is going through, I hope she recovers.

You've written an excellent triolet with very strong repeating lines.
The wind was carrying away the name and with it the shame and blame.
Perfect alliteration that enhances the feel of the poem
Nice choice of rhymes, combined with very good meter and flow.
Excellent picture to poem match
I think Brooke will appreciate the poem for its own merit.

Thank you so much for your time reading/reviewing my poem. I am so glad that you see this as a poem in this genre and not one of healing for Brooke.

I have never written a triolet and think I will give it a try. I liked the poem especially the line "the wind was whispering your name' Very lovely and I like how the imagery relates to both sound and touch. It is like all nature misses your friend too.
