It’s Poetry Friday

One of my writing goals of 2020 is to join in the fun of participating in Poetry Friday on a more regular basis. A few weeks ago I read Amy Ludwig Vanderwater’s poem “Wintertimes” at her blog on The Poem Farm. Amy explained that the structure of the poem is a triolet – an eight line poem with repeating lines and rhyming lines. It follows the pattern A, B, a, A, a, b, A, B. I thought it was so interesting, so I decided to try it out for myself.

Declarations

Love declared in wondrous ways.

A borrowed line, a gift, a song.

Through tranquil nights. Through hectic days.

Love declared in wondrous ways.

A look, a touch, a secret phrase.

The bond between us deep and strong.

Love declared in wondrous ways.

A borrowed line, a gift, a song.
