D.W. Rodgers Poet Triolet

His Face Remained In Shade

The lighting, it was over-bright
yet still his face remained in shade	
'tis better not to children fright.
The lighting, it was over-bright 
but with the falling of the night
he would emerge when none would aid.
The lighting, it was over-bright
yet still  his face remained in shade.

Joyce Johnson June 28, 2016 at 12:09 PM Congratulations on your win on this short list. Joyce D.W. Rodgers June 28, 2016 at 1:12 PM Julia, thanks for your recognition of of my attempt at triolet. I often write outside of forms and the discipline of these challenges contest, keeps me on the straight and narrow. dwr could well stand for date written.

Julia Ward June 28, 2016 at 12:00 PM I chose this poem to be on the winners' list because of the eeriness of the face being in shade despite the over-bright light. The whole poem has a flickering quality due to the bright/shade combination and its determined repetition. Well done for your fourth place win in my contest. I hope dwr stands for "date written"?

Richard Lamoureux June 22, 2016 at 8:02 AM Makes me think of phantom of the opera. Some remain in shadow because others can't see the true beauty in the light. D.W. Rodgers June 27, 2016 at 6:48 PM Thanks Richard , you are too kind, I was hoping for something more sinister. Dave,
