Great work. I really like the last stanza and love forever young. The poem flow well in a difficult structure. Very strong images, "hair still big in eighties style" is wonderful. Certainly can tug at the emotions of us older ones.

How sweet memories can be when they're preserved in the heart, where they can be revisited now and then. This is a lovely trinet. The imagery is powerful and the artwork was perfect. Should do well in the contest.

This poem is so well-written, sweet, and moving. I've written only one trinet; its flow was REALLY rough--like "me Tarzan, you Jane"! LOL!
Your romantic poem makes excellent use of specific details to convey the theme of love.

    Oh, Janice, you have made my evening!! This was my first real stab at a trinet (I gave up the last time around - mood was kinda sour back then, I think!)...wasn't sure how it would read to others' eyes (the whole first time jitters, I suppose!). Thank you, thank you for these lovely stars and your awesome comments!!

A very well-written Trinet poem about being youngiven forever in our mind where we do not have the body pains to deal with. We can sing and dance like we did thirty years ago.

Very good poem for this challenge. I like the 80s style hair, the wink goodbye. The poem really flows well. A good form to try, I think. "Reliving moments" - something we all do, I think, in the quiet times.

Thank you for sharing your poem. I am not familiar with this type of poetry so I don't feel qualified to judge on that. The subject matter was good and clear.

This trinet, Forever Young, using the 2-2-6-6-6-2-2 formatting, takes us all back to the time when the past and future were unimportant. Nice.

I see you and I see this piece as the thoughts of an old woman looking into the face of her loving husband, searching for signs of what he may remember of them. Maybe he suffers from Alzheimer symptoms or maybe she just still sees him and them as the young beautiful couple they used to be... Definitely worth the read. Keep writing. V
