A quiet cry for help. Just an arm around you to feel safe again. To help pass through the guilt and blame.
Excellent entry for this contest. The reader can feel this hand out, hoping it will be grabbed.

good work

    Thank you , Lulube...

    Somehow many readers don't seem to notice the plea for a comforting touch...

    welcome Steve
    If you know about the horoscope signs, I am a Pisces. The one that has the deepest emotions, intuition, capable of feeling the pain of others-sometimes more than they themselves.

Very well done!
Liking the change of punctuation in the fourth and seventh lines.
Great repeating lines ~ smooth and changeable in the context.
Very smooth flow throughout too.

    Thanks, Cally.

    Yes, I do like to fiddle with the punctuation and meaning of those repeating lines.

Lovely triolet! Simple yet touching! Wonderful rhyming too! Greatly enjoyed reading it, especially the call to "ward off the prowling beasts of blame that stalk" us every day so we can be free of "guilt and shame"! Such is the power of the warmth of "love's bright flame" indeed! Many thanks for sharing, and all the best for the contest! :)

Excellent enjambment to add flow to the top meter and unforced rhymes of this triolet.

I particularly like:

'ward off the prowling beasts of blame'

Excellent plea in a metaphor for love to be renewed and rescue your despair.

Best wishes, Ray

Nicely penned with feelings of want and longing.

By using this format, the writer is given the chance to repeatedly invite his loved one with "come warm me" with a soft persistence.

It is a an urging in search of comfort and clarity.

Steve, first a blog like to wish you good luck in the Tiolet poetry contest because this is an excellent entry. Even use of rhymes which help with your rhythm to flow smoothly throughout your poem and rhymes that are neither are labored or forced. The pictures quite blurry however what I do see definitely compliments your poem. I do love the picture though as it sets a metaphor within your poem. Thank you so much for sharing them posting this for everyone and may you have a good one and all your endeavors.
Alex
