Indescribable Joy

I smell her perfume wafting on the breeze I hear her laughter in the aspens’ shimmer As the wind comes gently through the trees I smell her perfume wafting on the breeze The indescribable joy of her my spirit frees, I am experiencing her personality linger I smell her perfume wafting on the breeze I hear her laughter in the aspens’ shimmer. The indescribable joy of her my spirit frees As the wind comes gently through the trees, I smell her perfume wafting on the breeze I hear her laughter in the aspens' shimmer I am experiencing her personality linger Once again, I see her blue eyes glimmer. Written April 8, 2022 [A triolet - a combination of the triolet and the sonnet invented by me. See New Poetry Forms.]

This is indeed lovely, Milt. "hear her laughter in the aspens' shimmer" is really a nice phrase!

Thanks, Jeff. I appreciate your kind thoughts on my trionet. Occasionally I can turn a good phrase! (chuckling)

Her "blue eyes glimmer" - I had reached for brown when a woman's voice stopped me and said "blue - the brightest blue" - this is more validation that I figured out what Deb looked like!

You were pretty much right on, Caren.
