Kim Rodrigues Poet Triolet

Her Cradle Rocked upon the Sea

Nobody wants to see me down like I wants to see me up.
—The Unsinkable Molly Brown (Debbie Reynolds as Molly)

Her cradle rocked upon the sea.
Unbreakable was Molly Brown.
Icebergs, she dreamt; the meaning, key.
Her cradle rocked upon the sea.
The lullaby amidst debris.
The infant sleeps, as cries fall down.
Her cradle rocked upon the sea.
Unbreakable was Molly Brown.

Michelle Faulkner January 24, 2025 at 12:14 PM Molly Brown was quite the woman, this is so true of her indomitable spirit, also a touch of sorrow for the children lost that night~ Kim Rodrigues January 24, 2025 at 4:18 PM So much happened…the good, the bad, and the lost…

Gershon Wolf January 19, 2025 at 9:26 PM Great reprise of the unsinkable one! ~ gw Kim Rodrigues January 20, 2025 at 5:06 AM Thank you, Gershon, and the sad thoughts and effect of even those infants lost to the sea, that fateful day. Blessings!

David Crandall January 18, 2025 at 10:18 PM I really like this one, though I never saw the movie (or play?). The words really fit well together and are powerful. It sounds like an inspiring story. Kim Rodrigues January 19, 2025 at 12:34 PM The unsinkable Molly Brown was a cute musical. Debbie Reynolds voice and playful dancing is worth a watch! See, I could watch it again, right now.

Paige Hind January 18, 2025 at 6:09 PM Hey, what a triolet! I saw Debbie Reynolds in Titanic, being Molly Brown. I enjoyed your poem. :) Paige Hind January 19, 2025 at 5:53 PM ...and it's a different actress, lol. Thanks for introducing. Paige Hind January 19, 2025 at 5:52 PM I looked it up but it only had segments of it - you have to pay to see the whole play....but I was able to see the song "I Ain't Down Yet" and the part where she's giving her clothes to the people in the lifeboat panicking...how "warm" - I liked that. Paige Hind January 19, 2025 at 1:52 PM No, I never did! I will look it up later, see if I can find it on YouTube. :D Kim Rodrigues January 19, 2025 at 12:35 PM Thank you, Paige! Did you ever see the musical?
