a triolet : i thought i hear your voice in the wind

one of my few attempts at structured verse. Tried one of the easiest, the triolet.

The first 2 lines are taken from a refrain of a poem that i wrote some time back. I think it's rather sad, but lovely.


i thought i hear your voice in the wind

i thought i hear your voice in the wind



i thought i hear your voice in the wind
but it was just me whispering your name.
though i have grown old and tired and bitter
i thought i hear your voice in the wind
through all the years, the static, the babble
and battles, without you, are not the same
i thought i hear your voice in the wind
but it was just me whispering your name.

Not sure if line 3 should rhyme with line 4 and line 5, but i read somewhere that line 3 need not rhyme with line 4, but line 3 must rhyme with line 5. Maybe someone can help me? See, I am lost already.

There are a few names I keep whispering in the wind, but, unlike bread on water, they don't come back. Beautiful!!

What is poetry if not getting lost?

You did fine really!

No idea how what the rules are. I don't know about you but I prefer to make up the structure as I write. I loved this one, it's sad but also bouncy leading to a light melancholic tone. Good stuff.

i am not too good with structured verse, maybe the discipline is not there. :)

i also like to make up the structure as i write. to me, the form of a poem is important. sets the mood for what i am writing at that time.

however, i will try the traditional forms (sonnets, villanelle,) once a while.

thanks, Ario!
