Brief Description also found in item above.


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.

Make writing a Triolet more challenging!  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).
