Andrea Dietrich Poet Triolet

Black Diamond Night

Night, moonless, is a blanket of
thick threads woven blacker than black -
a tapestry of stars above.
Night, moonless, is a blanket of
diamonds, and the eyes of my love
are glittering too now I’m back!
Night, moonless, is a blanket of
thick threads woven blacker than black.

For the Black Diamond Poetry contest of Nayda Ivette Negron

Tom Arnone August 12, 2016 at 7:00 PM Beautiful poem, Andrea, but where are the black diamonds -- unless, we're talking about black holes and/or dark matter. Congrats! :-) Andrea Dietrich August 13, 2016 at 12:44 AM It's all in the interpretation. I'm thinking a Black Night that also happens to be a Diamond night. A Black (Diamond night) though i can understand it also being seen as a Black diamond (night).

Tim Ryerson August 22, 2012 at 5:38 PM Wow Andrea!...This is a real beauty... I predict a winner...going to try to come up with something for your contest although that form sounds VERY challenging!...I'm amazed that Connie invented this form though I shouldn't be surprised - Tim

Robert Johnson August 22, 2012 at 4:10 PM Black Jack sat back, said he lost his mind. In the midst of a black hole, his soul he couldn't find. The stars were gone and now it's dawn. His warmth was drained as he slept on the lawn. Where can he go now he doesn't know. No one to show the way. Dust's himself off so no one will scoff and gets on with his day.
