CayCay Godwin Poet Triolet

We Two

For Timothy Lee

My hopes for love lay in collapse.
Age grew, love left ~ then you brought heat.
You came in view with your perhaps.
My hopes for love lay in collapse.
You sought me out ~ I let time lapse.
You gave me a funny heartbeat.
My hopes for love lay in collapse.
Age grew, love left ~ then you brought heat.

Now I so love being we two
Alone in our own paradise.
Our couple time is time spent true.
Now I so love being we two.
At first sight of you, I withdrew
Thinking your flirt overly nice.
Now I so love being we two
Alone in our own paradise.

Andrea Dietrich October 9, 2015 at 1:21 AM your first one?? Wow, you did GREAT, Caycay!! I especially like the first one. the third and sixth lines are so creative! Keep it up doing some more triolet! CayCay Godwin October 9, 2015 at 7:51 AM Thank you, Andrea - your comments are especially encouraging.

James Inman October 6, 2015 at 8:22 AM Beautiful write, CayCay. We, such a nice word. CayCay Godwin October 6, 2015 at 10:04 PM Thank you, James. I hope there isn't a sadness to your 'we' comment, if so - never give up. I had. Truly, I had given up on a perfect partner when perfect companionship found me. I'm glad you liked the poem ...

Paul Callus October 5, 2015 at 4:35 PM Enjoyed this double triolet, CayCay; very romantic. Lovely to see a person rising up from defeat at finding new love. ~ Triolet is not as easy as it looks, but you have got the hang of it. // paul CayCay Godwin October 6, 2015 at 10:06 PM Hey, Paul - thank you very much for your sweet comments and, yes indeedy, I will be happy to read your triolet. It is a challenging form, but that just makes it all the more fun to attempt, right? ... CayCay Paul Callus October 5, 2015 at 4:37 PM Maybe I can tempt you to read my co-write with Eileen..."A Triolet Tryst":)

Demetrios Trifiatis October 5, 2015 at 6:54 AM I know next to nothing about Triolet but know some things about love thus, from that perspective, a very romantic and beautiful poem, dear CaCay! CayCay Godwin October 5, 2015 at 12:21 PM How funny that we left each other similar comments about forms we have yet to study! I am so glad to see you here and thank you for very sweet words ... CayCay

Mark Woods October 4, 2015 at 11:31 PM CayCay a very sweet poem, to obviously a very special man. I'm not familiar with triolet I will now have to investigate it. CayCay Godwin October 5, 2015 at 1:00 AM Hey, Mark. You would enjoy the challenge of the Triolet, obviously you need a line worthy of repeat. I'm so glad you thought it sweet and yes, a special man. Thank you ... CayCay
