Re: YOUR BREATH
I'm focusing on the word effortless. Any thought easily expressed, bright or melancholy, is well suited for tercets, which is why I enjoy them. Many would describe this as simple in execution if not for how, immediately after that single word in the 2nd line of the closing tercet, a shadow falls to give the poem its final wash of color, a darkening effect that belies the hopefulness of the preceding lines.
