Waiting By The Window (Triolet)

Missing image
When out divided panes of glass I stare
in need of breath to heal my lonely heart
I whisper quietly with tender care,
when out divided panes of glass I stare.

Oh how I yearn to see you standing there
with open arms to build a brand new start.
When out divided panes of glass I stare
in need of breath to heal my lonely heart.

With dust upon the glass as years go by
the thought of you is fading with the time.
My whisper now becomes a tender sigh
with dust upon the glass as years go by.

For were our moments passed, a lover's lie;
a story played to passion in our prime?
With dust upon the glass as years go by,
the thought of you is fading with the time.

    Thanks for showing me how these are done, Pamela, with this beautiful example. I didn't realize it was a double one as I had only attempted one once before and had forgotten what they are but I know i can depend on you to demonstrate most forms so nicely, so your list was the first place I looked.

    Superb

    I've never really appreciated Triolets in the past until I read this lovely pair you have created. Our very talented friend Eusebius has been trying his hand at Triolets of late as well, so perhaps I'll have a crack at a couple myself, though I'm sure they won't match up to yours I'm afraid. These Triolets are truly wonderful indeed. Congratulations on winning the gold trophy, you are more than deserving.

    All the best,
    David Michaels

      Thank you so much. Again, repetition can be very effective making the triolet beautiful. I am so pleased you enjoyed this piece. You definitely must check Michael's triolets and certainly do some of your own. He does a wonderful job with them and I am certain you will too. Let me know, I will be interested in reading. Thank you again for your most courteous and encouraging comments. I appreciate them very much. ~Pamela
