'Love can't be denied' is a fine start to this triolet, IMO. In fact, love can completely ruin or absolutely bless a life! As always, your poem is wonderfully romantic, Nancy, and beautifully presented.

Hi Nancy,

Thanks for teaching me about a triolet, to start. For some reason this form really appeals to me and I'm glad your poem was the first I've seen of it. There is something powerful in the line repetition, which I often play with in rhyme but haven't done like this before.
Aside from that - your poem was simply perfect, beautiful, filled with the type of love that is steadfast and calming.
Thanks,
LG

    I'm delighted with your comments and stars LG. The triolet is an easy form because it only uses two rhymes and four lines to compose an eight line poem. The trick is to do your best to hide the fact you have repeat lines. It's confusing at first, but once you get the hang of it, it's fun. The form is my go to sometimes to get over that brick wall we come to occasionally.
    Have fun! Nancy:)

Love not allowed to shine too often dims out. Well crafted poem. The repeated line adds another dimension to the fluidity of the poem.

A wonderfully romantic Triolet formatted poem that uses the classic "eyes are a window to the soul" motif. Very eloquent due to the fine choice of the repeated lines and the smooth transition. This format is usually the first one I teach to new poets in rhyming Poetry Classes. Nicely done.

This is a beautiful love poem! I'm not romantic but appreciate very much that something here in the eyes of another gives confirmation because of their shine! The form is really lilting. Well done!

Beautiful Triolet Nancy. I love how your repeat lines flow so smoothly. The rhyming is so natural. The sentiments are expressed lovingly.
Hope all is well.

I've made note of this poetic form and maybe I'll give it a try. "Love can't be denied; it has to shin" is certainly worth repeating. I like the way you turned around so many wise men tell us love is blind to yet wise men often are too blind to see. A lovely thought that love can be seen in the loved one's eyes. Beautifully expressed. judi

A very well written poem. I enjoyed the structure, flow and rhyme. I agree, live can't be denied. A pretty photo as well. No edits or adjustments necessary.
