L Milton Hankins Poet Triolet

Triolet On Reading Between the Lines

Imagination reads between the lines
And there finds the secret fantasies
The coded meanings, hidden signs,
Imagination reads between the lines,
Discovers the message that maligns
Often writers’ concealed anomalies,
Imagination reads between the lines
And there finds the secret fantasies.

Jim Slaughter August 29, 2022 at 11:10 AM I love this little poetic form, L M. I've only written two triolets but hope to produce more in time. And I think some of the best writing is accomplished "between the lines".

Jenna Logan August 29, 2022 at 3:52 AM Subtle hints that there are underlying thoughts within a poet's creation. That's the mark of a great poet. Imagination is one of the poet's sharpest tools. L Milton Hankins August 29, 2022 at 7:43 AM Thank you for your insightful comment, Jenna. Yes, imagination is one of the poet's sharpest tools, and, I believe it is essential to good writing.

Caren Krutsinger August 28, 2022 at 10:29 PM I love it when the "secret fantasies" pop out! L Milton Hankins August 29, 2022 at 7:44 AM Me, too, Caren. I think this is why reading and re-reading is so important.
