Very nicely written truth that Jesus took the sting of death from us when He died on the cross and then he arose on the third day, giving us an eternal hope. Patricia

A Triquatrain poem, huh? I don't believe I've ever seen nor read a poem in this format before now...but I liked it. I liked it so much so, in fact, that I am going to try and write one of my own using yours as my guide.

I especially enjoyed the brevity AND internal rhyming of the form.
Not to mention the inspirational and spiritually uplifting meaning behind the message your poem conveys.

Excellent work!

With admiration

Hi Dean,

Wow, such flattery. I appreciate it.

I ran across another poet on the site that had used the form. I wish I could remember the name. It was a few weeks ago. It looked like fun. It has quite a bit of freedom since there is no restrictions on meter or syllable counts or length of the poem. The only rules are quatrains with lines 1 & 3 of each quatrain rhyming and lines 2 & 4 end rhyming.

Have fun!

Thanks again.
Debi

I enjoyed too reviewing your poem. I am not all particular with the rhymes, the counting of syllables do not mean much to me. I just look for the message, if it strikes and absorbs my attention, then your poem won me over. Your poem's message did just that to me. This is an excellent write. God bless you more.

I like your poem &, too, your picture & its message.. Being it shows a more positive approach than most about death from some here. And besides, it's inevitable. Though so many don't like to dwell on it . Great reassuring message for those who believe. The others, at least it will get their attention.

Hi Caressa,

Thank you for the thoughtful review and kind comments. Yes, death is inevitable and we don't like to dwell on it, but none of us escapes it. I am happy you found it reassuring. God bless.

I very much like this rhyming scheme! I also appreciate the theme of this poem. It inspires me to try a Triquatrain of my own sometime. Skillfully written.

Thank you for the encouraging comments. I hope you give it a try. It is a form with a lot of freedom since there is no required meter, syllable count or length. The only rules are that the poem is written in quatrains and that of lines in each stanza 1 & 3 have internal rhymes and that lines 2 & 4 have end rhyming.

Good luck! :)

beautiful picture for your enchanting take on the death of the Lord and his rising above it all to go on with doing what he was meant to do

w.j.Debi,

This is an incredible Triquatrain poem. You made the form look easy here!
Wow, lovely flow, perfect redemption message. Save/grave and doom/tomb and sting/wing are all great word choices for your internal rhymes.

Simply outstanding!
Linda
