This triolet works well to show that regrets bring light to what is wrong and help you see what to do to fix things to make it right. Regrets and fixing them helps heals souls and makes them less lonely.

Keep writing.

A wonderful picture that fits well with your verse.
A somber poem that tells much with few words.
Good flow and rhyme.
"the sense of light'' offers hope, and I choose hope:)

Hi, Anupam,
This is a very introspective poem with a very deep meaning.
I liked the chose repetition line and the other line you repeated twice as well.

Regrets instill the sense of light
inside a shadowed, lonely soul. -- strog and powerful lines.

When brumous thoughts eclipse insight,
regrets instill the sense of light -- but these lines are those that won me. Love them. Such an exquisite way to show how sadness and sorrow, regret can interfere with the clarity of your mind and the wish to move forward.


The best of luck :)

You've got the message of this one spot-on. :) I strongly believe that regrets bring clarity in our visions. Those lines are my favorite, as well. Thanks for this insightful review and good luck wishes. I appreciate them both. Glad to see you active here. :)

Hi, Death. This is a remarkable piece, IMO. I learned a new word: brumous! One question occurred to me, though: did you mean to say "vanquish" as opposed to "vanish" in line 5? To ease the vacillations between right and wrong so as to bring more balance into the picture? Just curious...

Thanks for reading and reviewing, flamingstar. I appreciate your kind comments. I wanted to use 'vanish' only, though 'vanquish' sounds lovely as well. :) Have a great day!

Regards,
Anupam

Hi Anupam,
At first I thought your title portrayed an oxymoron with "Regrets' Light", but as I absorb the piece, its striking meaning becomes clear. As we are pounded with regrets of past mistakes a light may still appear through the dark bringing hope to a lonely soul...truly insightful!
I loved the S consonance that floated through the piece and was impressed with the smooth flow of your words in this tricky genre.
This looks to be a strong contender for the contest, my friend...my best for its success.
Hope all is well with you, warmly, Bill

Perfect adherence to the triolet rules.

Unusual pleasant surprise to enjoy the excellent flow, not often incorporated in this form.

Very insightful and poetic write with top repeated dramatic lines.

One of, if not THE, best triolet contest entry I've read.

Good luck and best wishes, Ray

Hi

a great triolet, with thought provoking sentiments and nice metaphors, I also like your repeating line of

Regrets instill the sense of light
inside a shadowed, lonely soul.

There is a sadness to it, but very well written. Mary

G'day Mr. Death. That is a very haunting little piece mate. I don't usually read short forms but this one just screamed at me to be read. Loneliness walks through it like a ghost in a graveyard. Good luck in the contest. Cheers and RIP, Fez
