A Triolet: Not Yours to Keep

Give it back to the world
That whisper in your soul
Is a banner, waiting to be unfurled
Give it back to the world
For when fear’s clenched fist is uncurled
Hope urges bravery to its goal
Give it back to the world
That whisper in your soul

Inspired by a quote read here

No man should be shamefaced through his work, to give back to the world a portion of its lost heart. — Louise Bogan 1897-1970 American Poet

  1. You've done wonderful with the form. I find it very difficult to accomplish and still be able to convey the meaning. You have used a very nice message to communicate and the Triolet is good at that!
    Best, M.
