I Am a 8

We come alone, and alone we depart,
This journey compels us to play our part.
Come now, no one stays for eternity's span,
We come alone, and alone we depart.

How can the moon conceal its glow?
He stands first and last, this truth we know.
We come alone, and alone we depart,
This journey compels us to play our part.

I really love the theme of your poem. It was just line two that repeated at the end that was strange for me. congratulations in my contest. You wrote a very nice triolet. Love the imagery of the moon hiding under chiffon!

Perfectly done triolet. You have to write your date of birth and month if it is for the contest. Please give once over to the rules of the contest.
