Week # 32

This week will be a poetry form: TRIOLET

A Triolet is a poetic form consisting of only 8 lines.
Within a Triolet, the 1st, 4th, and 7th lines repeat,
and the 2nd and 8th lines do as well.

The rhyme scheme is simple: ABaAabAB, capital letters representing the repeated lines.

Your poem should be a minimum of 8 lines, as dictated by the form,
but you adventurous souls may add more in increments of 8.
