Brooke, my sixes have vanished, so I assume the site thinks I've given you enough sixes recently (bummer). this really is six worthy. You have a real talent for the triolet. I swear, even William Shakespeare would be jealous of your talent! Great poem, very relaxing.

Oh no, another triolet!!!
I love your choice of opening/repeating line; it's a beautifully lyrical slice of poetry.There's a lot of sorrow in your wistful words here, Brooke.

Comment from Poetic Friend
Brooke, this poem gives me sense of tranquility. The poem is just as beautiful as the swan. Your poem does the swan justice.
I am still amazed how you managed to produce a well-written, stunning poem on a daily basis -- never getting writer's block. You are truly gifted!

I keep thinking I am going to get
this triolet format down pat one
day but mine always seem contrived
to me. Oh well, until then, I will
just enjoy yours and bask in the
thoughts of having a friend who can
write any type format well. love, jan

Thank you, Jan, and good morning :-) Making it not contrived is the biggest challenge - yes, I've read really bad ones. Brooke
Comment from tati
While reading "In Dreams I am a Gliding Swan", I played in my heart my favorite Charles-Camille Saint-Sa«ns' Le Cygne (The Swan). I love the verb /glide/ in the 2nd/8th line of your poem. In my opinion, it represents perfectly and beautifully the swan's movement. I also love your choice of words of the line 6th, /replacing peace with throbbing ache/; an attention grabbing contrast between peace and throbbing ache.
Beautiful poem, as always, Brooke. Thank you for sharing the elegantly written triolet. (tati, Feb. 28, 2010)

Hi Brooke,
Beautiful art work. I like this style of poetry where the beginning and ending are the same, especially in this paticular poem. You remind us though we awaken to the everyday routines we can always dream. Thank you for sharing.
