For Jane Dougherty’s poetry challenge this week. The prompts are the painting you see here by Munch and the words: winding – moonlight – follow – heavily – path. The theme is “moonlight”. I chose to do a triolet for this challenge. i was able to use all the promp words but one…follow (but it is implied…:)) To read other poems visit Jane’s blog HERE
Moonlight along the winding path
where heavily her shadow looms
leads to the place she saw him last,
moonlight along the winding path,
her dreams of love left in the past
when she was young and flowers bloomed,
moonlight along the winding path
where heavily her shadow looms.

It’s one of the reasons I love triolets. 😊

OH you have been writing! I love this! And yes, the “follow” is certainly implied. 🙂

Gorgeous, Kat! I love the triolet form for exactly the same reason. It makes me think of a line of birdsong.

Lovely. I also like the triolet form. It makes me think of old ballads–this one certainly does.
