That is an awakening many throughout the world need to have. This is a very powerful piece full of inspiration. Perfect use of the triolet form which isn't easy to use effectively. Outstanding meter and message! I enjoyed much and wish you the best of luck in the contest.

Mikey, your usage of mono rhymes Are very difficult to do but you seem to accomplish doing them quite well. Neither of your rhymes were forced, labored were strained in your rhythm flowed smoothly throughout your poem Which made it easy for me to read your poem quite clearly. Good luck in the contest for this is a good contender for winning. Thank you for sharing am posting this for everyone to May the Lord be with you always.

    I am so pleased that you liked this and found it well written. I know you remember my early pieces when I struggled to get this meter correct. I think this may be the first time that I read through one of mine and thought, "Hey, I think that's it!!!" As always, I appreciate your input and help. Blessings, mikey

This is very beautiful, most of all I like the repetition of important lines, those lines that should abide in our hearts; if we want to live in peace. Best wishes in the contest.

Your poem of awakening to the potential that love brings to ones heart is beautifully conveyed in your Triolet. Perfect picture selection introduces your poem. Good Luck.

Six stars for this one because the message is so kind and compassionate and everyone needs to really hear it. Six stars also because Triolet is one of my favorite poetic forms, I've written a few - and yours is fantastic. Perfect form, perfect meter and simply flows off the tongue as a Triolet should.

Ah, if only it were so, Mikey. The picture you paint
is both admirable and desireable. I'm not much of a poet. In fact a hardly know a triolet from a violent. So I'm afraid I can be of no further assistance.
Best of luck with The Committee.

Peace, Lee

A fine triolet for this contest and one with a most important message - if only it were true around the world.
Embracing hatred will no longer stand
for love has come to live within our hearts

Good luck.

Steve
