Dear Sue,
Where will these variant forms of poetry end. I was happily strumming along with heroic couplets, the odd limerick and maybe a sonnet or two, when up jump cinquains, haiku's and now triolets. I will agree that this latter form is a good test of rhyme and metre and you have done it so well. As I do with all of your work, I enjoyed this. NO NITS.
Regards
Reg

Hi Reg, the different forms NEVER end! Ah..such is the beauty of poetry. Once in awhile I think of writing a triolet. It wasn't until I saw the contest that I wrote one again. I really do love writing them. Thank you so much for your very kind review. Your words and compliments are always so kind. So much appreciated, Sue

By quill in hand - the entire piece is beautifully sophisticated. I think you did very well in following the guidelines set forth for a Triolet.

I do enjoy the pleasures of your poetry.

Really nice flow and enchanting words - loved the line: I hold your music in my heart. I haven't heard this form of poetry before - it's very lovely. Good luck in the contest.

You did a beautiful job on this triolet. I still have not attempted to write anything except a rhyming poem. Mozart is great and your piece is a wonderful tribute.

Dear Sixteen,

What honor greater can be made, none that I could ever see, to be held within your heart, means that you and your love will never part. Good poem, well done.

Good luck in the contest.

Warm regards,

Winslow

Hi Sue,

Very nice! It reads easily and there's nothing that seems forced about it. And I love Mozart also.

Good luck in the contest!

We all have "our thing", don't we? I love trying out the various forms to enhance my range and learn more. The strict formats really help, as an exercise, to be highly selective with word choice. And, they're lovely. Thanks so much for your very generous review. With regards, Sue

Comment from brooklynauthor

Excellent

this is fabulous... the hardest part of writing this type of poetry is to make the repeating lines strong enough to interest the reader. You did a great job of that.

By quill in hand, and yet remains (this line threw me... but since we each interpret what we read differently, I saw that the genius of Mozart can't be comprehended and this line reinforced that belief - maybe a stretch... but, hey, what can I say?)

Enjoyable... I really like your work...

The quill reference was to back up the statement that after all these years (writing with a quill wayyyy back in the day), his art is still alive as it was then. Thanks so much for your very kind review, Sue

AHHHH... makes sense now... men can be sooooooo stupid ;)

Thanks for the clarification.
