Bare Trap [&] Dreams

I can see the picture clearly with your great imagery Alexander. Wonderful piece.  All the best in the comp. :)

Magdalena, there's a bit going on in this piece, so I'm very happy you like the imagery. Thanks for your great comment and support.

Terrific use of the form ... but then I knew it would be.

Hey, Petit Minou. This is turning out to be a pretty competitive and challenging comp. Thanks heaps for your comments and all the best in the comp!

It's one of the best I've been involved in ... stretching poetically.

Pretty sure this will be my final round... so much amazing talent and yours chief among it...

Her eyes clicked-i love that reoccuring line

moonbeamdreamer, I'm glad you liked the 1st line, I knew with such a short poem like a Triolet, with so much repetition, the first line needed to have an impact, so I'm glad that's the case.

Thanks you for dropping by for a read and commenting.

crafty. what a blissful trap to fall into...

Mr Feddeler, I'm pleased you enjoyed the craft of the trap. Thank you for reading and commenting, sir.

You cracked it, the form.

Works beautifully - images of ice, traps, pain, searching... You've outdone yourself, Case, bravo.

Good luck in this exciting comp!

Atakti, I'm so very stoked you got so much out of this piece. I packed a lot in this short poem with the imagery and the vibe of being trapped, unchained, then the decision to fight or flight and the consequences of these decisions.  
 
In some cases, crossroads will result in a decision that no one really wins, everybody is just left with scars.
 
Thanks again for you great comments and support. [This is hands down the most challenging and exciting comp I've competed in DU].

Case this was darkly exciting and beautiful at the same time.. peace Crim :)

I write a poem about chains and bear traps, Crim's ears prick up. :)
 
Thanks for reading and your enthusiastic comment, I really appreciate it.

Thanks Maestro!

You're welcome, [balena]. Thanks for reading and welcome to DU.

This poem is like a reality. I live in Alaska, and bears and moose roam all over.  
How exciting this poem is. :3

Thank you Ms Megan Heathen, for sharing your thoughts and for checking out my poem. I'm stoked you like it.

I read this several times, more times i can remember since it was part of the comp, even dissected line by line, from rhyme, to theme to meter and i can positively say in breakdown this came to close to perfection.
It's not easy to convey, to make an impact when there's only so much room in the required form but you did and you did it so well.
Case, we all saw your talent during that time and you delivered every time with precision and exceptional results.  Well done!
