Do I Dare? (triolet)

by Heather M Craig   Apr 15, 2005


Do I dare disturb the universe?
I shall not escape the shadows!
Do I dare fight the reticent soul and converse?
Do I dare disturb the universe?
I shall not survive the worse!
Do I dare allow my emotions to grow?
Do I dare disturb the universe?
I shall not escape the shadows!

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.

    I liked the poem, i didn't really like the format. I was never a person for this type of format and i never really liked how it repeated itself in such a short time, i feel you can express yourself a lot more with more lines to work with.

    I gave it a five/five.

    Love you Lots,
