Train of Thought

i do like this form D.B
its short and has some rhyme.
it reminds me of poems i read when i was younger.

you did a good job.

shine on you crazy bee!

You can blame Jack for this one, and his latest Triolet phase.  It's new to me.  I'm working on it!

Thanks for the read.

I was listening to that the other btw (on a tangential note.  Classic!)

I know this is for Jack's challenge and I understand you're writing in handcuffs, DB - but the title seems like a bolt on.  
L5 could use another look & L3 bothers me a tad - perhaps I'm interpreting incorrectly, but why would your passenger pretend to be smiling joyously when in 'deep' regret? There are plenty better rhyme options than feign to build from.  
Having said that, your three part refrain is a gem which coveys a fitting period feel.  
Hope something here^ helps.

Thanks, it does help.  The title was a bolt on to be quite honest, I'll definitely have to revisit that.
 
I agree with your line 5 assessment, it's the one I struggled over the most, and wasn't really happy with.  
 
As for the joyful smile, it's really the idea of wearing a mask, the ultimate in silent suffering, but your point is well taken.  
 
Thanks for a more-than-typical comment, it is appreciated.

The mask idea fits in well with the changing weather vane, of course.
Do persist with this poem, as I think you've got the makings of something which could be a little special (even tho personally I'm not fond of 'antique' formats) ~ A

Loved the emphasis, makes it feel like a long journey but within the constancy of regret

I'm glad you were able to get a full interpretation of my poem.  It still needs some work though.

Thanks for your comment.
