The Triolet Form12 Years AgoTRIOLET
Traditionally a French poetic form, the triolet is an eight-line poem, with two rhymes and two repeating lines. The opening line occurs three times in this form. The first line is repeated as the fourth and seventh lines, the second and eight lines are the same. Some minor variations are allowed within the repeating lines, since this may enhance the poetic effect of the triolet. * The triolet is an old French form that is short and witty or more traditionally romantic. It has 8 lines in the rhyming scheme ABaAabAB. The first two lines (ab) and the last two lines(ab) are the same, as well as the first line and the fourth. So handsome! So sweet! --E.J. Wallace |
