A Blackened Heart Is Beating On. {Triolet}

-A Blackened Heart Is Beating On.-

A blackened heart is beating on
As ashes seep from these blue eyes,
All love from within this hollow shell is gone.
A blackened heart is beating on
Humming to a broken song.
Enchanted by your deceitful lullabies,
A blackened heart is beating on
As ashes seep from these blue eyes.

Triolet: is a poetic form consisting of only 8 lines. Within a Triolet, the 1st, 4th, and 7th lines
repeat, and the 2nd and 8th lines do as well. The rhyme scheme is simple: ABaAabAB, capital
letters representing the repeated lines.

    Very different. ashes seeping from your eyes...that was a VERY original line. I like that your lines, although in your work may be used over again, I have not seen anywhere else! That's just very nice to see some originality!

    Now normally I stray away from poems with a specific type of poetry in parenthesis, because usually it's some weird word that scares me. Triolet, on the other hand, it sounded sorta pretty. Fortunately I did click it, for that was sooooo cool. You'd probably appreciate a more in depth comment, but I am not all that well-versed in "Triolets", so all I can say is the word choice really appealed to me and painted such a dark,yet beautiful image.
