Gershon Wolf Poet Triolet

Death's Brushed Aside

Death's specter stalks us all our days
Yet near the end it's brushed aside
By angels singing, haloed praise...
Death's specter stalks us all our days
We're lifted up by light's pure rays
Triumphant wings to heaven glide...
Death's specter stalks us all our days
Yet near the end it's brushed aside

Geoffrey Brewer September 5, 2019 at 3:58 PM A pleasing poem in a pleasing format. You have given it a nice balance of the chilling with the reassuring, crafted with effective meter and rhyme.

Elizabeth Kinch September 5, 2019 at 3:58 AM This has inspired me to have a go at a triolet. I love this Gershon. Gershon Wolf September 5, 2019 at 10:05 AM I'm happy to hear that you're going to try a triolet. I find them relatively easy to write, due to the repetition of lines one and two. They make me look like a much better poet than I am. (I can use all the help that I can get). Thank you for the feedback, Elizabeth. :) gw
