Beautiful words from a beautiful poet, Brook. So true, too. We all need to think about the bounty in our lives and not the things we did not do or places where we did not go. The world is too vast to experience it all. Nice thoughts for sure. Rose.

You have the ability to capture the beauty that surrounds you in beautiful poetry. That is a rare gift. You are truly blessed. Since my husband was active duty Army for 23 years, I have had the opportunity to visit many places in the world, which I am thankful for, but...I cannot write the level of beautiful poetry that you do.

You've summed it up beautifully, Brooke, and as always you've managed to put an extremely awkward form to good use. I like this one very much :-)

Comment from Nicki_Mist
We will have to write of all those places you want to visit and let you not miss out. So many places i would love to go to and cannot. But, i agree with you lovely poem that we have experienced much more than we have ever missed. Creative.

You have presented a lovely poem with a interesting rhyme scheme. Your words seem chosen well. "What I have missed cannot compare." I really liked that line....well done

Brooke,
This is a wonderfully sweet triolet. I love the lines you chose to repeat. Your rhymes are terrifice, particularly the B rhymes of experienced and quenched. Your iambic tetrameter is perfect and gives a very nice rhythm on reading aloud. I like the subject of the poem, too. It's so easy to take for granted what we already have while wishing for what others have. I think they discovered that in, "Wizard of Oz"! LOL
Great work, my friend.

Comment from MissMerri
You manage to turn this difficult form into a thing of beauty which I sincerely enjoy. Your repeating lines are just the right lines to repeat, and the meter and rhymes are excellent. But as usual, you have a meaningful message tucked inside the words that speaks to me. "What I have missed cannot compare to all I have experienced." That's wonderful to think about!

this poem charmed me like all of your endeavors. i think that it works beautifully to make a complete poem with three distinct sections that meld into one another

Brilliant triolet, very well thought out and imparting the most sound of advice -- don't waste time thinking the grass is greener on the other side of the fence! I agree with you entirely and once again, I cannot fault your writing, dear friend.
