Very good Steve, I like the accompanying image spelling out the word,"words"
I have never tried writing triolet poetry. You have done a good job.
"weaving words to change the world" I like that line.

This triolet has a wonderful poetic tone searching and seeking to comprehend ever more fully the whole raison d'etre , as it were of poetry -and arriving at some incontrovertible truths 'weaving words' or 'crafts a cloth'-

Triolets, like most French forms have repeat lines. You're right - the trick to them is that each time there is a repeat, the new line should be innovative and interesting. I think you've done that well here.
Words don't come easy. They usually require a great deal of thought before speaking. Too many in the world forget that and shoot from the lip.
Loved your Triolet, Steve.
Rose.

You did an outstanding job with this triolet. The repeating lines are woven well into the verse and your use of poetic devices, especially the ones you note in your author notes, adds to the artistry and meaning of the words. I see the entries are before the committee now. Best of luck.

Thank you, wjd.

I appreciate your kind words and the six shiny stars. I have had little luck with the committee for months now, so perhaps I am due a change.

Very well done and thank you for pointing out the 80's hit song in the piece of artwork! If you are "aspiring" poet, I think you've already made it, fellow writer. This is very good, indeed and amazing since it followed such stringent rules.

Wow, Steve, this is an amazing Triolet.
The lines are blended seamlessly so that it
almost appears to be a free verse.
I love the message that poets have the power to change the world
with their words. anything's possible!
Good luck in the contest. Nancy.

Thanks, Nancy.

One of my biggest rewards as a poet is when a reader tells me that I have touched their lives in some way.

One thing writers have in common despite our different writing styles is that we respect the power of words.

I think you did a good job exploring this. Hugs, Lou

I really do like those lines ... The poet's art it seems to me
is weaving words to change the world. We do long to make
a difference with something we say. Well done.

The poet's art
That is to start
Weaves words to life
That comes to lark

Each poet needs
The words to speak
From the heart
To be true indeed
