Joanna Daniel Poet Triolet

On the Cusp of Change

He teetered on the cusp of change, 
Wanting to make each moment last ~
This flying of time seemed so strange, 
He teetered on the cusp of change ~
What would he not do to exchange
his life for harmless childhood past! 
He teetered on the cusp of change, 
Wanting to make each moment last.

Suzette Richards July 28, 2023 at 1:15 AM The triolet is a tricky form to write as each repetition has to carry its own interpretation with in the whole. You did an excellent job, Jo. Much enjoyed :)
