A silver shoe abandoned on the stair
A token to be followed through the night
Single shoe and lonely heart each pining for its pair
A silver shoe abandoned on the stair
Once the mate was found - there
Two broken hearts would heal and reunite
A sliver shoe abandoned on the stair
A token to be followed through the night
The form you used here works very well. The repetition adds poignancy to the lines. I like this very much.
ReplyDeleteThanks. After I saw your Solstice Triolet,I wanted to try one. I'm glad you liked it.
ReplyDeleteNicely executed triolet and I love the metaphoric nature of your poem...and I couldn't help but wonder how the shoe happened to be abandoned!
ReplyDeleteCinderella didn't have time to go back for it. At least it gave the Prince a clue.
Deletenice...well done to form....and you garner emotion through imagery very well with this...i feel bad for the shoe....
ReplyDeleteThis is beautiful and speaks to me.
ReplyDeleteVery cute poem, actually. I don't see any allusions but I enjoyed the form and how it is used in this sweet message.
