Hi maryccasey,

I am reviewing your item as part of I Write.

Any form that is comprised largely of refrains can be very difficult to write, but you have done a great job with your triolet poem.

Your two refrains make heavy use of alliteration and consonance, and so are very melodic. They also make for smooth transitions between the other lines. I also like how the plosive p sounds in "patterned poisoned" are mirrored in the subject of your poem.

Your poem is reminiscent of Edgar Allen Poe's "The Raven", which is one of my favourite poems.

A rare five stars from me.
