Hi Jim. I see that you are experimenting with different poetic forms and doing a great job of the ones that I've read and reviewed. For your first Triolet, you've got it nailed down. Marilyn

    Marilyn, I am very appreciative of your validation. I do consider you one of the best of the professionals on FS! This year-long book project is being done for my eight grandchildren. Throughout the year I will be adding my favorite and hope, my reader's favorites into the chapter book. I turn seventy in March. I would like to do this year over year for as long as I have time to do so to leave a part of who I am and how I thought about life, in words, in their memories.

    Hi Jim. It's good to have a direction with our writing. We all seem to wish the same thing as seniors--LOL--that those we leave behind will treasure our efforts. Keep going with it. Marilyn

The imagery you have used in your poem is really fantastic. You have really made use of the striking words easily and created the perfect scene in the readers mind.

A very well-written Triolet about the wishing upon a star. The repeating lines work well to make the whole Triolet focus on the distant stars that will bring glittering hope to our souls.

I very much enjoy the atmosphere of your triolet, J. There is of course always something magical about being outside on a warm night and breathing in the air while casting nets at distant stars.

Your repeating line is well-crafted to ensure it weaves into the entire poem seamlessly.

Great poem and many thanks for sharing.

Gloria

Hello my friend

Beautiful triolet, very well written. I tried a long time but it was not my thing. I'm better with haiku and free verse. You also paint a beautiful picture with your words.

-Very nice image and
presentation, JLR.
-The Triolet is one
of my favorite forms, so
I am glad to see you writing one.
-You have done a good job,
beginning with the repeating lines.
-The imagery is effective, along
with the rhyme.
-The only suggestion I would have
for you is to make the lines iambic.
-Usually, that is the requirement
in the definition.
-Thanks for sharing it, and
hope you try more.

    Pam, thank you,I do intend to polish my efforts with this style and I am grateful you pointed my nuances.

    You are very welcome, JLR. Feel free to browse my portfolio. I have written quite a few of them.

    Thank you, I will do so.
reply by Pam (respa) on 21-Feb-2020
    You are welcome. That is how I learned the form. When I joined FS in 2015, quite a few people wrote them, and I reviewed a lot. That is how I learned the form.

Looks like you did well in keeping to the form and rhyme scheme of the Triolet. Great job even for the first go at it. I thought the topic and the image you chose was great as well. Thanks for sharing.
