With such a strictly locked down form, it's always difficult to find a subject which is complimented by the style, rather than restricted by it. You've managed the unusual feat of doing exactly that.

This is a lovely Triolet poem. Free will is a gift to be cherished. I'm glad we have the ability to develop our individual talents. You are doing a fine job with yours.
Good luck in the contest.

Rather good piece, here. Such an interesting concept, free will. If we didn't have it, how would we know? If the human psyche is formed through nature or nurture, or both, can there even be said to be such a thing as freewill? Is not man a slave to his instincts, and if he has spent a lifetime denying them, isn't he still stuck in bondage? Either way, you have an interesting piece here that allows for various trains of thought. Keep on.

Ooooh, excellent philosophical question..."how would we know?" I like that. I love all your comments, as I sure love pondering these aspects of life. I believe we do have free will, but become encumbered by our own fears or by other influences. But, then again, even if we decide not to decide, then we've exercised free will. Hmmmm.... Interesting stuff! Thanks so much for your insightful review! Sue :-)

Excellent triolet form, and the message is projected strongly with the reiteration of 'unique, we are born with free will'. Very much enjoyed. LadyMary

You've chosen a personal subject for your triolet poem, but one that essentially touches all of us. Free will is a must for one to live to his fullest. You've followed the stringent requirements for the triolet poem to a "tee" and it is a well-thought-out and a well-written poem. mslyla

mslyla, I do love to ponder the depths of what makes us all tick. To me, free will, all by itself, justifies why mankind must live in a free society. Because it is natural. I am so glad you appreciated my triolet and SO appreciate your six star rating for it. With warmest regards, Sue

A well written rhymer. Good message, good imagery, and a good meter work well with this fine poem. I am a firm believer in the uniqueness of the individual.

Very good. I personally don't like this type of poem because to me it does nothing but repeat, but thats just me. I tend to be quirky and a rebel that way. For the contest rules, you did a great job!
