All We Know (Triolet)

by Rachel RTVW   Feb 11, 2007


The love we share, it's all we know,
Two souls forever are entwined.
Two hearts as one, with perfect flow.
The love we share, it's all we know.
The strongest bond shall only grow,
For we have formed the ties that bind
The love we share, it's all we know,
Two souls forever are entwined.

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).

    Wow - that was probably the best flowing triolet I've read (some of them try to fit into the pattern so much that they become incomprehensible!)

    This one deserved first place!
