Into the Badlands

Into the Badlands Into dark realms where death’s delusions ride Strides the victorious warrior of charity Grace and solitude in wilderness here abide! Into dark realms where death’s delusions ride Torrents of grace wake flowers in reply – Blooms in wastelands of sand – life to guide! Into dark realms where death’s delusions ride Strides the victorious warrior of charity 10-24-20 Contest: Pick a Title – Triolet Title Chosen: Into the Badlands Sponsor: Edward Ibeh

I really love how you filled your triolet with imagery. hard to do it in a short form. I feel like one of the lines needs to rhyme with the last line. I think line 5 or 6 as i recall. Other than that, it is very triolet!

Thank you so much Andrea! This theme brought up such a visual for me I enjoyed translating it into words. Thank you, as well, for your "rhyme" catch! I was concentrating so hard on the rhyme scheme, I rhymed the wrong two lines! Have adjusted! Harvest of blessings to you!
