Andrea Dietrich Poet Triolet

Notes About The Poem

Short movie clip on which my poem is based:

The best romantic part of the movie: The Kiss https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bHTWme5Ks9g

 

 

On Mountain Cold

He wed his fate on mountain cold,
Where now she kneels on blood-stained snow.
He journeyed far, his love to hold.
He wed his fate on mountain cold,
their moments - gems - seemed hundredfold. . .
before the cawing of the crow.
He wed his fate on mountain cold,
Where now she kneels on blood-stained snow.

Sept. 24, 2016 for Nicola Byrne's  Movie Mania - Romance Poetry Contest
Inspired by a moving scene in one of my favorite romantic movies Cold Mountain
See "About Poem" to view part of the sad scene this is based on.
Also see the beautiful love scene where they kiss!

James Inman September 27, 2016 at 7:01 AM A great write Andrea. You might be interested in knowing that W.P. Inman was likely a relative of mine and the Pisgah Nation Forest where Cold Mountain is located is a beautiful area located off of the Blue ridge Parkway in NC. There is a gorgeous waterfall just off the highway called Looking Glass Falls that I have visited many times.
