FJ Thomas Poet Triolet

A Fading Memory

The need that made life so hard is gone
At some point I stopped missing you
You snapped my heart like a child's crayon 
The need that made life so hard is gone 
Removed from your games no longer a pawn 
Nothing remains for you to rip out and chew 
The need that made life so hard is gone 
At some point I stopped missing you

James Inman September 18, 2019 at 9:24 PM You found the strength within you in this poem. Not easy to do. Nice to see your lovely face as your avatar again. FJ Thomas December 31, 2019 at 11:19 PM Not sure why my comment keeps disappearing but I do hope you at least got to see it one of the times. Thank you very much James.

Honestly J.T. July 13, 2018 at 12:54 PM Awesome poem; ~Soupmail~ JT

Vince Suzadail Jr. May 28, 2018 at 10:59 PM Enjoyed the way this is put together. Time sometimes heals but often, not completely. FJ Thomas May 29, 2018 at 6:57 PM So very true Vince. Thank you :)

Andrew Rogers April 17, 2018 at 2:35 PM Wow, absolutely love and adore this piece, because the courage behind cannot be snapped! FJ Thomas April 17, 2018 at 3:06 PM Thanks so much Andrew! Once the hardest burn passes one must become strong again ;)

Jan Allison January 30, 2018 at 7:29 AM I'm not a trio let fan but this is a fantastic example love the line about the crayons and the impact of the repeated lines is so powerful shadow:-) hugs Jan xx FJ Thomas January 30, 2018 at 11:01 AM Jan I definitely realized I am also not a fan! Just wanted to try something new. Thank you ;)

Eileen Manassian January 29, 2018 at 2:53 AM SHADOWWWWWWWW.......you ROCK! This is amazing. Send the one who snaps your heart like a crayon over my way. I'll teach him a thing or two! ;) FJ Thomas January 29, 2018 at 11:25 AM Eileen I am so appreciative of the attention you have given me. Honestly I do not care for this form. But I decided to find a short form I'd not yet tried; and then sat forever until I thought of a suitable refrain and built a poem around it. Boring but it kept me writing I guess.

Kim Rodrigues January 24, 2018 at 4:18 PM Nice refrains! Excellent! FJ Thomas January 24, 2018 at 7:57 PM Thank you so much Kim :)

Edward Mccall January 7, 2018 at 4:45 PM I love the hidden message with in, the need we so often feel is necessary is not a need at all. well penned Shadow. FJ Thomas January 9, 2018 at 12:05 PM I am most glad you saw it! Thanks Edward!

Andrea Dietrich December 16, 2017 at 6:59 PM Very nicely done, Shadow. I really love the triolet form. FJ Thomas December 16, 2017 at 7:23 PM Hi Andrea. It's a new one for me but hopefully I can improve with the next try. Thanks!

Phyllis Babcock December 16, 2017 at 10:54 AM Another awesome poem. Another form I have tried guess I might be stuck in certain forms took me ages to do a haiku with having to leave emotions out. love phyl FJ Thomas December 16, 2017 at 7:19 PM Lol I definitely have my constant go to's! Thanks Phyl!

Rhoda Tripp December 16, 2017 at 7:49 AM A difficult form that you made shine. Awesome write. FJ Thomas December 16, 2017 at 7:16 PM Aww thank you Rhoda :D

James Marshall Goff December 15, 2017 at 9:17 PM Yes, easy to relate, for us poets are burdened with the unseen... FJ Thomas December 16, 2017 at 7:16 PM We truly are. Thank you J :)

Connie Marcum Wong December 15, 2017 at 11:26 AM Wow, Triolet's are too much of a challenge for me for some reason. You managed to make it seem easy in this impactful piece. I can relate. Brava Darlene! : ) FJ Thomas December 15, 2017 at 12:07 PM Thank you again Connie. I didn't think it would be difficult, maybe because it seemed so short, but it actually was not as easy as I thought it was going to be.

Akkina Downing December 15, 2017 at 10:06 AM Yeah some of us can relate to this. Another awesome write, new friend. I sure enjoyed it! Hugs and smiles :) FJ Thomas December 15, 2017 at 10:48 AM Your visit it greatly appreciated. Thank you beautiful Akkina.

Line Gauthier December 15, 2017 at 9:22 AM Awesome impact. Love it. FJ Thomas December 15, 2017 at 9:34 AM Thank you very much Line :)

Maria Williams December 15, 2017 at 4:45 AM I love what you've done with this,Must admit I've never attempted a Triolet. The repetition of the first and second lines, to the last two concluding lines emphasizes the facts so much more I see. A Fading memory, very very good....Maria FJ Thomas December 15, 2017 at 9:32 AM It was my first attempt; amazingly I sometimes find the shorter ones to be a bit harder lol. Thank you very much Maria.

Casarah Nance December 14, 2017 at 9:34 PM wow, this is good, bold in not just lettering but emotion and the seizing of it. well wrote. FJ Thomas December 14, 2017 at 10:04 PM Thank you very much Casarah. ...such a beautiful name.
