This is so full of imagery and longing. I like it a lot. And, as a Yorkshire lass, the picture really appeals too. Well done with this tricky structure, it works really well.

    Thanks Briergate, for your great comments. This is my first triolet and I found it hard to put real emotion into it. It was a bit sing songy and trite when I finished. Thanks again for your kind thoughts.

Awesome poetry my friend, I really like reviewing this poem. All the way through the poem, I got a since the write could see the future; With the line "Oh love, my love who'll stray twice more" was as if they knew what was up. Anyway, this poem to me flowed nicely, with only one, or two places where I stumbled. (me, not you) great read, thank you for sharing. VaV-VOOM!

    Thanks, VaV-Voom, for your great review. I attempted my first triolet and found it rather difficult to achieve real emotion in the poem. I have a long way to go on learning this form, but will keep trying, lol.

    Thanks again,

This is a wonderful poem. Good form, structure and the repetition gives it a mournful feel. Good imagery and I love the picture, it reminds me of home in Scotland. Best wishes for the contest.
Bless you
John

Quite a sad yet feeling poem reflecting the ravage effects of mistrust in a relationship. The imagery for accompaniment is lovely.

A beautiful and we'll composed poetic verse accompanied by an equally beautiful art work. Very nice and the poem is very smooth to read out loud.

What a marvelous yet extremely sorrowful triolet, your repeat lines flowing into the rest beautifully, the language almost musical. When a poem has so many repeat lines it's not easy to make it as gorgeous as you've done - bravo, and good luck in te contest!

This feels very Gothic. The triolet form gives it a nice flow with effective use of the repeated lines. It is a very simple idea, but the patterns make it fun and enjoyable to read. The title pulled from the "heathered moors" line also raises questions as to the significance of that place, and allows the reader to look more deeply into the poem.
