Joseph May Poet Triolet

Haunting Refrain

 Violin plays a teary note
 The wind whispers a sad refrain
 Then, through the trees, it starts to float
 Violin plays a teary note
 Hidden by the night's velvet coat
 Owls hoot out a haunting strain
 Violin plays a teary note
 The wind whispers a sad refrain

Daniel Henry Rodgers March 3, 2026 at 5:14 AM Hi Joseph, it feels like a short film in verse. The way that "teary note" repeats really reinforces that sense of melancholy, and "night's velvet coat" is a gorgeous bit of imagery. It’s a hauntingly beautiful read! Blessings, Daniel
