In Time All Things - Triolet Poem

In Time All Things

In time all thing do pass away
Letting faded things go to make a way
For new and brighter things to stay
Encouraging life to grow and sway
In time all thing do pass away
We learn to let go and not to stray
In time all thing do pass away
Letting faded things go to make a way



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).
