Week 20 Form: Triolet

Form: Triolet  Open in new Window.


Number of Lines: 8 lines


Rules:
Within a Triolet, the 1st, 4th, and 7th lines repeat, and the 2nd and 8th lines do as well.


Meter:
OPTIONAL Challenge: Make each line 8 syllables in length (4 metrical feet), written in iambic tetrameter (the more common way), or try it in pentameter (English version) where each line only has 10 syllables (5 metrical feet).

Otherwise, just follow the basic rules above and the rhyme scheme.

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

Choices for the poets to make this week: Your poem can be about any topic.

EXAMPLE:

The Stars Will Shine

Don’t hold your breath, the stars will shine.
Make your wishes, and close your eyes;
Tonight’s bright view will be divine.
Don’t hold your breath, the stars will shine
And wink with the planets of nine
While starships zip through the night skies.
Don’t hold your breath, the stars will shine.
Make your wishes, and close your eyes.
