The artwork you chose resonates Van Gogh for me and your modified triolet fits well with it. The "wide-eyed hope" may be gone, but your optimism still shines through. I enjoyed the form and your rhymes very much.

I like what you did with the form. No problem here. it read really nicely. I enjoyed skimming my eyes accross the words. Your message is true for us all, unless some fool wants to deny reality. I enjoyed this very much. Fairy tale like Tony

    Tony, yes, I can't imagine that in reality we haven't all had a dream or two go up in smoke. Thank you, my friend. Brooke

adewpearl: Triolet poetry is another type that I've never heard of before. Needless to say, I really like what you wrote. I just noticed that you're both the top poet and top reviewer. I feel privileged to be in your company. Kat

This was a beautiful expression of how when we are young we are quick to believe and even quicker to become disillusioned. Doesn't matter to me what you call it, it's still a poem.

Okay, Brooke, you are putting these away right? This one would be a great opening poem in a book of verse for children. Another incredible offering from you. Deb

Brooke, your poem rings true for me, and somehow, I'm being led to poems and stories that have a similar theme. If only we all could find that child-like faith again. As always, you've written beautifully.
