As if were lost, I searched for me,
Many years so long have come to pass.
-Outside myself I thought would be,
As if were lost, I searched for me.
But soon I found ‘twas not decreed,
Light within soon shown at last.
As if were lost, I searched for me,
Many years so long have come to pass!
From Poets.org http://www.poets.org: The triolet
The triolet is a short poem of eight lines with only two rhymes used throughout. The requirements of this fixed form are straightforward: the first line is repeated in the fourth and seventh lines; the second line is repeated in the final line; and only the first two end-words are used to complete the tight rhyme scheme. Thus, the poet writes only five original lines, giving the triolet a deceptively simple appearance: ABaAabAB, where capital letters indicate repeated lines.

/ November 19, 2011In reply to your question…
Yes I turned mine off Gayle and also I have stopped following everyone, of course I still follow some of my friends but only about 20% I would say and my reasons are because wordPress has a ridiculous fetish for sending multiple e mails on just about everything that we do here and with all my other writing work I simply do not have the time to go through them all, mind you I sometimes don’t even get reminders on some postings, which is annoying on the Spaces that I do follow 🙂
I think that it is hit and miss sometimes but at least by cutting down on the one’s to follow and just tweaking a few other settings I have managed to reduce the e mails by around 70% so a good outcome that 🙂 Thank you for asking me about this though Gayle and I might try re-adding that option so that you and others can return when I reply 🙂 However nine out of ten times I will always add a reply here my great friend 🙂 Thank you for reading my offerings Gayle and for the welcomed feedback also 🙂

Thanks for letting me know that it wasn’t something that was unintended. I totally support your decision. Enjoy the rest of your weekend. 🙂 xo

/ November 20, 2011I have comments turned off on mine and Jen’s photographs that I have in my extra pages, I used to have it open for comments but I figured that looking at the photographs is one thing, and as for comments on them, well I don’t really expect to have someone make a comment on my ugly mug 🙂 However on Jen’s pictures, well she is gorgeous, I just thought that I would offer that or I could quite easily be digging myself out of a very large hole 🙂 😉 lol
I hope you are enjoying your evening Gayle 🙂
