Love’s Flame Rekindled (Triolet)



As love’s flame rekindled, shines bright
It shows the passion in our eyes
I hold you in my arms ever so tight
As love’s flame rekindled, shines bright

I profess this love with all my might
Everyone will witness this with sighs
As love’s flame rekindled, shines bright
It shows the passion in our eyes


Author notes

This is my second Triolet.  I did this one all by myself.  This will not be my last.  My thanks will forever go out to SusanL who got me turned on to them.

    Grows in beauty as you read...

    I like the arrangement. The choice of words is simple, and the meter is not quite fluid, but rather than stumbling, the poem grows on you. It is a joy to repeat in one's head, like a mantra. A beautiful mantra, no less.

    I loved the way your described the flame and it was just beautiful. It felt like it was personal and it had a lot of power behind it. The words you used were perfect, it was simply beautiful )

    You almost got me...you almost got my eyes to well up...this poem just kinda brushes the surface to something I'm going through right now. This is full of heart, and speaking from living it, if you ever have love, let it go and then rekindle it...don't ever no matter what let it escape you again.
    omnia vincit amor
    Sinceritamente,
    Venomous Scorpio

    Beautifully written..it goes with the flow..Like the others I have never heard of Triolet form before but it doesn't matter because what you've got here is so wonderfully written that people are going to fall in love with this poem.it seems that you are a romantic person,just like me...hehehe...Most of my poems are on love...my friends call my hopeless romantic but when I show this poem to them they are going to call you that...hehehe....

    Beautiful poem....I don't know a damn thing about Triolets...but it seems to flow nicely. I think the repeating adds something to it...and the feelings seem to flow from it...great job especially for a second attempt

    Poetic flame..

    Beautiful write! I have looked at triolets before but have not tried my hand at it - you sure make me want to, dear poet! Indeed I sigh when witnessing this "2nd attempt" - great job. To me this is the sign of a great poet - fearlessly persuing all the different poetry styles! Much enjoyed!

    This is totally awesome. I really love triolet poems. I got started with them when I was a freshman in highschool. I love getting to read them. Awesome job.

    very good

    Guess that makes me a grandfather having turned Susan onto them.

    Very well done. You have a smoothness to your refrains that helps to make them lose their redundancy.

    Cool. Pretty powerful for a shorter type of poem. That's always promising and I'm glad you've just started writing this type, that means they'll gt even better! Wow, could that happen? Anyway, thanks for sharing!

    I wouldn't have known a Triolet if I'd fallen over one John - but I like this very much - I can now see where the 'trio'part comes in but maybe I haven't paid any attention before reading this.
    It's lovely

    Yes, Susan is an awesome friend and then some. She has really helped me through a lot in the past months. And not just in poetry. Anytime you need help with this, I would be honored to lend my newly acquired knowledge to you.
