This is a triolet about a special trip.
The Note

The crisp morning air makes me shiver.
The icy water cracks beneath my feet.
I have a note I must deliver.
The crisp morning air makes me shiver.
My trip will end across the river.
The love we share makes my life sweet.
The crisp morning air makes me shiver.
The icy water cracks beneath my feet.
