Andrea Dietrich Poet Triolet

The Lighthouse

The lighthouse by the rocky shore
stands tall, a tribute to the past,
recalling days of sailors’ lore.
The lighthouse by the rocky shore -
forlorn – gives forth its light no more.
May glory’s recollections last!
The lighthouse by the rocky shore
stands tall, a tribute to the past.

John Gondolf December 26, 2018 at 7:50 PM Nice Triolet, Andrea, I’ve always liked this form but very few use it. Nicely done. John

Gershon Wolf December 24, 2018 at 10:02 PM So exquisitely stated---as stark in its beauty as the lighthouse 'which gives forth its light no more.' A FAVE for me! Best of the season, Andrea! :) gw

Connie Marcum Wong December 23, 2018 at 7:49 PM I am happy not all are closed. Some still lend their light to the night Andrea. Have you ever visited one? I have but have not climbed the spiral staircase. Best of luck in the contest with this lovely Triolet! : ) xxoo
