When young, I liked to read about romance. Rarely did I read works of poetry. But I read a few that were beautiful. Sara Teasdale’s poems were beautiful. I loved her poems of love and romance, yet I never dreamed I’d write poetry! Was I influenced by her poetry? Sara’s thoughts and words were so beautiful. Today I write poems of romance. Romance in poetry is beautiful.

I loved reading this one dear Andrea and like Inky said, another new form to me too, which I find intriguing. You have created a great Tritina. I’m not familiar with Sara Teasdale’s poetry either so I’m going to look her up. So nice to discover other writers. I love, ‘Romance in poetry is beautiful’. Absolutely! Something else we share in common lovely Virgo friend …

I absolutely adore, ‘Wuthering Heights’ as I love classic literature. I’ve read 50 of them on one of my bucket list entries. My hero, above all, is Thomas Hardy. Have you read much of his work full of sadness, angst, unbridled passion? Thank you for this read and reminiscing on the joy of reading. Hugs xx

We can’t think back to the poems we read, not knowing that one day we‘d be composing them too! I looked up your poet and read - Love Songs. How beautiful!

Oh, hooray! Someone else who enjoys Sara Teasdale. She and Robert Frost are two of my favorites. Her poems are exquisite. I always wished I could be a poet like Frost, few words with powerful imagery that evoke wisdom. I'm not there...maybe someday. I enjoyed this poem, Andrea! have a pleasant evening, Sara

I tend to write romance alot, but i try to write on other subjects too, i love poems on romance as well: you read more about romance growing up? Were they novels? What were your favorites? Me too i rarely read poetry although I studied literature that is not considered reading poetry really. I love the way you’ve written this. I wish i had the patience to learn this form tritina

This form is super easy. You just think of a final phrase that contains your three key words. Then you incorporate those three words into the end words of each stanza in the order given in the form's directions. Also I didn't read just romance. My favorite novels are ones like Stephen King writes. And I love stuff like A Handmaid's Tale. Clan of the Cave Bear and that entire trilogy probably among my faves for romance. Big favorite was Withering Heights. How about yours?
