Michael, what a cool write-I'm so happy you put the descriptives at the end of this, it's fascinating to learn what goes into one of these. Loved this!

This is a delicate and beautiful piece of writing.
I actually read this yesterday but, alas, failed to comment then!

Well done, Michael.

This is just beautiful

Beautifully written piece. Works really well with the line spacing.

Loved that you added the description of what it was because that really helps with learning new forms. (thank you) Milly x

beautifully done.

Oh, this is so beautiful.

Judge's Comment

A lot of editing goes into a triolete, you are limited to 8 lines and 2 of those lines repeat! To add to that, you are only left with three more lines and they have to rhyme with the other two in a specific order. It's difficult to paint a picture with just a few shades of just one color but Mr. Darcy does so in  a tender monochromatic blue. This poem is as beautiful as it's namesake and oozes of love and of loss.
