trilonnet (#122)
Last Hemorrhage
old valves too weak to palpitate
this pumping organ cannot keep
up without plasma to sustain
dark red imprint upon the pane
a smearing reminder to reap
from love forgotten, filled with hate
eventually is too late
body collapses in a heap
no longer feeling any pain
allowed to cut, never again
lesson learning never comes cheap
death is the goal we did create
always bleeding out from the heart
souls once together now depart
Trilonnet
The Trilonnet consists of five stanzas - the first four stanzas are three-lined stanzas (triplets) and the concluding stanza is a couplet (two lines).
The form requires either iambic tetrameter or iambic pentameter. The three-lined stanzas are not rhymed within themselves, but are linked together with a rhyming scheme and the couplet has its own rhyme. There are two options for the rhyme scheme of the Trilonnet:
abc abc abc abc dd
or abc cba abc cba dd
The trilonnet is related to the sonnet forms, in that it carries 14 lines of rhyming and metered poetry.
