I stand here silently, amid recollections
Amazing how they come rushing back
Memories of all my long lost affections
I stand here silently, amid recollections
Realizing how doomed were my selections
My bluest skies turned to deepest black
I stand here silently, amid recollections
Amazing how they come rushing back

Don’t worry. This is just something that came to mind when I saw the image. I have been trying to break a writing slump and this might just put me over the edge of it. I’m keeping my fingers crossed.
PS: Thank you Susan for turning me on to this form. It always helps me to get off my butt and write again.

Oh my! How I can relate with this triolet. This one hit home with me. I think you have really dont justice to the picture. Your word choice is very nice and the requirements of the form seem to be followed except I think that 'recollections' rhymes with 'affections' and 'selections'.

Very well done. I'm impressed. I have never written one of those. Sonnets are hard enough.
Anyway, good job. -
I'm not familiar with this form, but I think I can work it out.
Lovely flow and pattern excellent relationship to the image. No evidence of a slump here.
