Slow Leak

There is a well that will not fill
despite abundant waters flow
and though the shimmer stars shine still,
there is a well that will not fill.
I claw along and bide until
a ray breaks through, but yet I know
there is a well that will not fill
despite abundant waters flow.

Wow, you sure are talented Kris, I am going through your writes and each one is a gem indeed! This really flowed well and I enjoyed the sprinkling of alliteration too-- wonderful triolet! I could only hope to write one as nice as this! - nikko :)

Kris, I love your writing. You seem to have an innate ability to write to strict form, yet allow your words to flow completely naturally. You give me something to aspire to as a writer. This triolet is just superb. Glad you joined the Soup ~ Sharon :)

Hey, you can really write a triolet, Kris. I don't recognize this as one from my contest on movie scene triolets. HAve you done many triolets? Luv,Andrea
