His Face Remained In Shade

The lighting, it was over-bright yet still his face remained in shade 'tis better not to children fright. The lighting, it was over-bright but with the falling of the night he would emerge when none would aid. The lighting, it was over-bright yet still his face remained in shade. dwr 6/19/2016

Julia, thanks for your recognition of of my attempt at triolet. I often write outside of forms and the discipline of these challenges contest, keeps me on the straight and narrow. dwr could well stand for date written.

I chose this poem to be on the winners' list because of the eeriness of the face being in shade despite the over-bright light. The whole poem has a flickering quality due to the bright/shade combination and its determined repetition. Well done for your fourth place win in my contest. I hope dwr stands for "date written"?

Makes me think of phantom of the opera. Some remain in shadow because others can't see the true beauty in the light.
