Notes About The Poem

Poetry Contest

Sponsored by: Andrea Dietrich

 

The Large Stars Shine - Triolet

As sunlight slides behind the hill,
A dim moon mingles with large stars
I see some patterns with a thrill
As sunlight slides behind the hill,
And constellations, all paths fill
While sailors note their old memoirs
As sunlight slides behind the hill,
A dim moon mingles with large stars.

What a great job you did here, Victor. I saw you at another person's triolet you were saying you wouldn't place high but look here. You DID place high. Congratulations

Very sweet and enjoyable 'frolic.' Sometimes Triolets are a good time for me and other times they make me cross-eyed.
