Lovely photo of Sawyer looking a little surprised at the kiss, Brooke - though maybe he's just playing hard to get - that seems to usually make the ladies try even harder. :-)

Very sweet and excellently written triolet.

Best wishes, Ted

    Ted, thanks so much. I think you're right because whenever she is not visiting him, he is on his play phone calling her to say hello, how are you? LOL Brooke

    LOL, Brooke.

    I'm OK considering. Lots of grief between my daughter and myself that would take far too long to go into it.

    Though I've really come to dislike her - which I never dreamed I would say, it is of course a great obstacle between me and my grandson, Henry.

    She says I have access whenever required, but her stubborn and aggressive stance scares the sh*t outa me, and I know if we met up, I would just get another pompous nag-fest.

    Oh well, at least we're back in email communication throwing insults at each other. :-)

    Take care, my friend, Ted x

That photo of those two adorable little things is SO cute! And the poem goes so perfectly and adorably with it! I love it!

"love is in the poacher's heart", I love that phrase and poacher is such a good word! Good thing a stolen kiss is not a crime because Sawyer will probably get a lot of them!

It's short, but powerful in the romantic sense. The triolet format keeps the 'stolen kiss-poacher heart' connection at the centre of the narrative; reiterating the belief that the so called 'crime' is nothing more than an act of love. Cute photo as per usual; but I think the central idea and expert rendering of the triolet make it a wonderful read.

A stolen kiss though not a crime has at times set crimes in motion. Lol
I love the beauty and innocence of the chosen image and just how many stolen kisses happen in fun during childhood?
A perfect Triolet poem with an emphasis on the fun, impromptu aspect of the stolen kiss.
Good luck in the competition.

This is an excellent triolet poem with a message of innocence. Excellent rhyming and iambic tetrameter. The non repeating lines fit well with the repeating lines to tell a story. The picture is so complimentary of the poem. Great work.

Sawyer is a treasure.

Julie I have to say this is beautifully done and made me chuckle a little bit. The picture is priceless and the poem definitely complements the picture tremendously and vice a versa. Great imagination and excellent creativity for writing a poem such as this. Your rhymes are neither forced, labored or strained and your rhythm was smooth and flowing.
Thank you for posting and sharing this with others. May you and yours be blessed.

I enjoyed this, Brooke. I love the unique form you used as well as the imagery. Looks like your grandson is going to be a ladies' man.

What a sweet and enjoyable poem. you are following the very restrictive rules that govern a triolet. your structure matches as well as the rhyme.
you almost make me wish I had not reserved a spot to go in the same contest.. now that I know how strong the competition truly is. I will work harder. thanks for setting the bar so high..
