Paint and Pillows {Triple Triolet}

by dollwithafrown   Jun 12, 2007


I'll never forget that moment, forever it will stay in my heart,
19 August, 1995: young and cheerful, you entered my life.
I wonder if anyone knew then, that we'd never be apart,
I'll never forget that moment, forever it will stay in my heart.
I still remember the finger paints, our choice of creative art,
We were filled with so much purity, never overcome with strife.
I'll never forget that moment, forever it will stay in my heart,
19 August, 1995: young and cheerful, you entered my life.

Do you remember the summer; the sunshine of '01?
Lying out on the garden grass, pillows beneath our heads,
I never knew that being with one person could be so much fun.
Do you remember the summer, the sunshine of '01?
Each new day it felt like the fun had only just begun;
We dreaded the night times, when Mama said it was time for bed.
Do you remember the summer, the sunshine of '01?
Lying out on the garden grass, pillows beneath our heads.

Those days of paint and pillows will stay with me every night,
Even though we're growing up, my memories will not dim,
Embedded in my mind; they'll stay there shining bright.
Those days of paint and pillows will stay with me every night;
Through the wintertime of December; the darkness which emits fright.
Everything reminds me of you; children climbing trees, going for a swim,
Those days of paint and pillows will stay with me every night,
Even though we're growing up, my memories will not dim.

    Very good poem, i never seen someone did a triple triolet before. I did a triolet and it took me forever, so I could imagine you must've put some effort into it. Great job. When you have the chance check out my triolet.

    Wow! That was amazing. I have always loved formatted poetry, and haven't attempted this style myself as it seems so hard, but you totally did it justice. Great vocab, descriptive words created clear imagery in my mind and the lines you wrote to be repeated were perfect and worked in very well. A touch of a personal side to it too by adding dates and such. I really enjoyed this piece. Reminds me of when I was really young with friends that you just wouldn't let out of your sight. Excellent write. =] 5/5
