a triolet : i thought i hear your voice in the wind
This is an attempt to write a triolet. I am using a refrain from another poem I wrote, and try to weave that into a love story.
Seems to work if read aloud. :)

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.

A moment of loneliness very beautifully conveyed in poetry!
I love your picture. Such a melancholy poem, I love the repeated first and last line
HI sweet Dsnake,
Ah, this tugs at my heart. Enjoyed seeing your sketch accompany it. Glad to see your still blogging. I've been gone a while, but am back to posting more often, including my artwork. I've never done a triolet. This flowed well when i read it aloud.
oops, above comment is from "gel", but i'm using my real name and have a different art blog, now.
hi Cindy,
thanks for visiting, and your kind comments. :)
hi mindlovemisery,
glad you like the sketch. :) yes, this poem is supposed to be a little melancholy.
a triolet is a structured poem, i think you can give it a try. :)
oh gel,
i am really really happy to hear from you again.:D
it's great to hear from old friends. 2 weeks ago, i heard from Liz after a long while, and today , you! what a wonderful surprise.
how have you been? i will be looking forward to reading your works again. :)
Definitely one to read aloud. :) The ending although is a repeat of the first two lines seems to leave an echo that feels far lonelier.
thanks!
personally i like this refrain a lot. it's sad, yet tender.
i think what worked best was the font..which added a different thing to the poem. the poem on its own is poignant.
:)
i try to use a standard font, courier-new, for all my poems. i like that old world, typewriter look of it.
thanks for visiting, and your comments, Paulami.
Never heard of a triolet, but it sounds interesting enough to investigate, all because your poem was amazing. Really enjoyed it, keep it up.
hi tallyt
thanks for visiting!
you can learn more about a triolet here . and i think you will have no problems writing one. :)
Although its such a sad poem,I'm going to use the adjective "lovely" to describe the feeling that it gave me. Its so very touching and such a beautiful flow of words resonant of loneliness,nostalgia and melancholy.This is beautiful work.
thank you, Jay!
glad you like the work. :)
i was thinking about a special person who had left me, when i wrote this piece.
Wow, you heard from Liz. I miss her! I used to have time to read and comment on every single poem she wrote. Hope she is doing well. I now have two blogs. I've added a post to my art blog that has an interesting story.
yes, i heard from Liz again after a long while. i missed her writings too, but now she's back and writing under "Ravenblack".
i am so glad you're also back with your artwork and your writings. :)
