I loved this poem. The tempo was very smooth. And the part where it says: our burdens lift, they always do really came out strong. I enjoyed it very much. And really felt uplifted. Thanks!

What a soft and gentle triolet, and so life-affirming - the form suits the message well here - a good marriage of craft and content. Excellent cadence and rhyme and beautiful alliteration - delve down deep - there is much to recommend this!

I was never a fan of triolets simply because I dislike all the repetition.

In line 1, you have a comma that separates two thoughts. In line four, you put a period to separate the thoughts. Pick one. Line seven also should be changed in punctuation, just so they are all uniform.

The rhyme scheme is perfect.

    Josipher, I hear what you're saying, but triolets are written with the same words in a line, but one can change the punctuation. It's classic. It makes each of the repeated lines take on a new meaning in relation to the previous or next line. Thank you very much for your great review and comments. With regards, Sue

    Okay, I didn't know that. I thought everything had to be the same.

Hi again Sue,

I like this triolet. It is very inspiring and reassuring. I caught the pattern much more quickly this time.

The Triolet was a good vehicle for your poem about hope.

I enjoyed your fresh description of time as the great healer: As time, our friend, makes all brand new.

Thank you for sharing this powerful promise.

It is true they always do, the sun eventually shines and our lives get back on track. Interesting style with the rhyme scheme and repetitive lines, it cannot of been easy I'm thinking, yet you have done it well, of course, another feather in your hat, I'll have to start calling you Pocahontas, Ha ha

    Or "Yankee Doodle Dandy"! HA!! Love writing in these formats. Gotta go hunt another one out and get tested! I know you got worn out on your last one. I'm not going to tax myself like that just yet - HA! Woops, you'd better go check that roast dinner in the oven. Thanks for your very kind review, Hitch. :-)) Sue
