Triplets





















The colors swirl, whirl, twirl
around the world, curled, furled.
My love was new, few, true.
Your words were flowery, towering, lowering,
the truth was ne'er to be found, sound, round.
Confusion reigned, swayed, brayed.
Shapes shifted, wafted, rafted
while the moon looked, frisked, docked.

  3. I like your play on words here. Very inventive. Especially confusion braying. Sometimes it does exactly that!

  4. I like the internal rhymes which somehow impart a very comfortable feel to the poem.
