Here are two triolet poems I wrote inspired by Writer's Digest Poetic Aside's prompt for November 12th "After _________".   The second one is a response to the first one.


“After I left”

after I left, did you miss me?

did you wait for me to return

or did you just play make believe?

after I left, did you miss me?

did you come outside just to see

if my heart made a big u-turn?

after I left, did you miss me?

did you wait for me to return?

"After you left”

after you left, my heart cried tears

but eventually the wounds healed

and I forgot the long sad years

after you left, my heart cried tears

but my mind let go of those fears

my true happiness was revealed

after you left, my heart cried tears

but eventually the wounds healed
