Andrea Dietrich Poet Triolet

This Quietus - Death

This quietus death – sweet release-

a rhapsody enwrapping you.

Fathomless it is; pain will cease.

This quietus death – sweet release!

Your story does not end, for peace

lasts an eternity when life's through!

This quietus death – sweet release-

a rhapsody enwrapping you.

Darlene De Beaulieu April 21, 2018 at 6:31 PM Hello Andrea, even though i read this poem, I did not understand it. Sorry. Have a nice day my friend. Darlene De Beaulieu April 23, 2018 at 2:39 PM Oh... that does make sense to me. Because I do believe in the after life. I am hoping for the same thing . Have a nice day my friend. Andrea Dietrich April 21, 2018 at 8:19 PM There is life after death and it will bring peace from all the madness we see here on earth. That is what I am hoping anyway.

Robert Johnson April 20, 2018 at 8:20 PM You captured the absoluteness of the moment here Andrea. We live and live and live, and then, bam, done. What we didn't even know we wanted, enwraps us.

James Inman April 14, 2018 at 8:33 AM A morose tone to a beautifully written poem with a lovely positive message (perhaps it is I who is morose and not your poem).

Line Gauthier April 10, 2018 at 4:55 PM A beautiful poem where your choice of form contributes to a lovely haunting effect. Lovely, Andrea.

Kai Michael Neumann April 5, 2018 at 3:16 AM Very powerful Andrea. Congratulations on your win. Kai

Constance La France April 3, 2018 at 3:14 PM Andrea, congratulations on your win in my contest with this beautifully penned Triolet, of course you know I write of death often and appreciate such poems . .

FJ Thomas March 29, 2018 at 5:45 PM Oh Andy a stunning Triolet!

CayCay Godwin March 28, 2018 at 10:51 AM I AM STUNNED WITH DISBELIEF - WHAT ARE THE ODDS THAT WE WOULD BOTH WRITE A TRIOLET? I posted mine yesterday with absolutely no idea you had used the form as well. Great minds really do lay in the same gutter. This fact blows me away, and the poem is substantive within the form restrictions. Wow - on the poem and the same form thing. Love ... CayCay

John Gondolf March 26, 2018 at 1:53 PM Andrea, you write Triolets so beautifully, they are a joy to read. I should try another. Best of luck in the contest. John

John Lawless March 24, 2018 at 11:17 PM Ah, the Triolet Temptress strikes again....making it look so easy....the muse muses....I must try one...Great job Andrea.

Matthew Anish March 24, 2018 at 8:47 PM Rabbi Abraham Joshua Heschel said that for the pious man it is a privilege to die - just returning the gift that is given to you. Also your fine poem reminds me of a Moody Blues song where the singer sings Life's yours for the making - eternity's waiting, waiting. Peace & Love Matthew Anish

Sunlite Wanter March 24, 2018 at 6:50 PM I don't know about triolet, I'm steeped in the meaning. So encouraging as one is older.
