Rubberized Hearts (Triolet)

by Italian Stallion   Jun 3, 2009


Compassion is fraught
stammel rubberized hearts.
Like stowboard carbone scarfs
compassion is fraught
small brittle wharfs.
Ready to be worn with warmth,
compassion is fraught
stammel rubberized hearts.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

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).

    A great choice in the form though its hard to do you seemed to do a good job with it. The flow went smoothly and so did the rhyming. The emotion was pretty descent. The idea of a rubberized heart was clever and you did a great job with it.
