Isn't it amazing how life is effected (or affected) by nature. I think that is one of the beautiful parts of life. This piece was very thought provoking, to me at least. I enjoy that in good poetry:)
Great job! Now I must go and ponder my life for a little while:)

Hi Brooke True troilet or not your poem reads and flows with a good piece of advise for all. There is nothing like standing with nature to get one back on a level plain. Cheers Gaye

Gaye, thank you. I like modifying forms - I just mention the modifications for those who would scold me lest I make it known I'm aware I've broken a rule or two or three. LOL Brooke
Comment from mstad55
My first triolet was red with a bell on the handle. I would ride up and down the street all day ringing the bell and driving everyone crazy. One day old lady Crabtree said if I rang the bell one more time when passing her house she was going to rip it from my handlebars and stick it where the sun don't shine. At the tender age of five I didn't know where that place was, and couldn't imagine a place with no sun. How sad for anyone that lived there. Since I loved my bell and didn't want it to go away to a sad place, I never rang it again when passing the old ladies house. I would just stick out my tongue and wave with my thumbs in my ears. Somehow I felt that was getting even. I don't know what happened to my triolet, but when old lady Crabtree died, I imagined her going to a place where the sun don't shine. Apparently I don't know what a triolet is, so the lines that ain't perfect didn't make a difference. I liked it cause it was a good poem. mstad55

Mike, I adore whatever place that is your mind goes - and the sun definitely does shine there! I could just see you riding your shiny metal red triolet around the block whilst ringing that bell and pissing off the crabby lady who lives in every blooming neighborhood in the world! :-) You delight me. Thank you for your kind review :-) Brooke

Well, to triolet or not to triolet, that is the question...LOL...I don't know if it matters or not but I like it regardless. You have given the shifting tide attitude. Very creative!

Comment from Mischief's Momma
There is something very enticing about that place where sand meets sea isn't there? Somehow the two worlds come together.
Great job on the poem Brooke, whatever form you used (or even abused) to get there.

Lovely, Brooke.
Once we take in the complex world around us, we see how small we really are.
Nice presentation. This poem gave me a feeling of calmness.
Beautifully written.

I don't care if it is not a true tricolet or if it is, I enjoyed it a lot :-) lol
It was a very easy read and the colors were also very easy on the eyes as was the pic. Nice choices and nice work.
