Author's Notes: This poem, "Our Winter Love," is written as a "Triolet" which is a French verse form. The rhyme scheme for this Triolet is: ABaAabAB. All verses of this Triolet are set in Iambic Tetrameter. This particular poem touches on a young couple walking together on the fresh fallen snow in the radiance of a "sunlit morning," all the while understanding that Nature's an integral aspect of this whole process as part of God's ultimate plan. I believe you will find the magical words of this Triolet, and the message of hope and love it conveys to the reader, well-worth your time to read and reflect on them.

Our Winter Love We walk sweetly on the fresh snow, this sunlit morn all bright and white; making snowballs as we now go. We walk sweetly on the fresh snow. Nature’s snow makes our love now grow! Our love’s alchemic and so right! We walk sweetly on the fresh snow, this sunlit morn all bright and white! Gary Bateman, Copyright © All Rights Reserved, November 19, 2015 (Triolet)

My senses in totality are in awe of your wonderful lines. Liquefied bliss from the boil of glorious words has brought out enchanting aroma beyond scaling. 7 is simply an underscore for this fine share.

Thanks so much Funom!! I'm very pleased you enjoyed my Triolet here. (I'm presently away from Poetry Soup taking a much-needed sabbatical to work on prose writes and other stuff for my second book. I won't forget you and will catch up with you on my regular return to the site in the future.) Continued best wishes!! Gary
