Hi there,

Thank you for sharing your Triolet poem as your interpretation of the Pix This challenge. I found your words to reflect the artwork well. I have loved all of these poems. Light and cooperation have come across loud and clear.

"Points of Light", is an extremely well-written and thought-provoking piece. This talented poet's work was a pleasure to both read and review. To me, this is a six, but unfortunately, I only have fives left.

I have run into the same problem with six stars this week, so I gratefully accept the virtual six. I appreciate the gracious comments. They mean the most.

Debi,

There are so many times when virtual sixes will just have to do.

Love and bless you,
the Duchess

A candle isn't much without a match to burn lightning the way as we go along our way into the darkness of the night. A soft warm glow rings for lots of memories.

Love this little poem as well as the pic. A short but intense, vivid piece that speaks truth, has great rhyme and flow and just unique and creatively put together. You have a very nice way of setting up stanzas so there is uniformity and the formatting of your work is nicely done and well . . . the poem speaks for itself. It is great!
Good Luck!
Wendy

I enjoyed your triolet Debi. It is one of my favorite styles.
Good job on its style, too. You used great rhymes & a topic that I really like. Your lines flow smoothly & the repeating lines fit in nicely. Thanks for sharing. Jan

Nicely written triolet. You are spot on with the repeat lines and the rhyme scheme. I don't think a triolet should be in quatrains, but I'm not sure. Your poem does remark on the picture. Well done Debi. Nancy

Hi Nancy,
Thank you for the encouraging comments. Your question about the formatting had me wondering. I'd only seen the triolet done as two quatrains on Fanstory so I did a little research. Poetry Dances shows the Triolet as either one stanza of eight lines or two quatrains. The examples on Shadow Poetry were all one stanza. I guess I'll have to dig a little deeper and see if there is a set form and deviations have crept in or if it can be either or. Brooke would know, but she isn't around to ask anymore.

I love the picture so much. All alone the picture shows the fight to keep a light going and power in numbers. Great poem, written well with much imagery

Hi Ash Kuhn,

You did a wonderful job of the Pix This Challenge competition. Your rhyme scheme and the repeats are excellent.

It only remains for me - the no poet - to wish you all the best with the contest.

There is hope here and a certain sense of robust conviction that shadows will never conquer. The night will be bright and lights will will will. Absolutely brilliant spirit. Well done.
