Words on paper are easier to say
No more wandering thoughts of bliss
As the heart speaks better that way
Words on paper are easier to say
The quill takes to paper as its way
Sealing in each emotion, not to miss
Words on paper are easier to say
No more wandering thoughts of bliss
I am very fortunate to have a great bunch of “kids” under my wing. Anna Grace and I worked together on this Triolet. I gave her the first line and the basics on the format of the Triolet and she blasted out a wondrous piece. I am very proud of her. Through slight modifications, this is the final outcome. We hope you enjoy it.

I find that today when people receive a hand-written letter they are overjoyed but its not the same feeling when they receive a phone call from the same person. Words are very powerful and create destiny when thoughts turn into them. I believe that deeply. The rhyme scheme is very nice here and all the other requirements of the triolet form also are followed very well.

It is something that tickles my writer's toes. I especially like how the third lines pairs so comfortably with the fourth--that was great! Bravo! I have, though, some reservations about the seventh line, I think it's to do with how it sounds slightly off-key in rhythm for me. I wouldn't want to impose on your poem, and I do understand that you may have some personal thing in mind in having put the line that way, but I would still want to give you my suggested phrase: "Sealing in each emotion an ink-stained kiss". It might sound off to you, however, so it is absolutely alright if you decide not to take note of my suggestion.
