23rd day of NaPoWriMo… Today’s invitation/prompt, is to write a ‘triolet’. Yippee, a new form to try. Here is what a triolet is for those of you that can hardly wait, are quivering with unnatural excitement, to take this form on. Whose in?:
“A triolet is an eight-line poem. All the lines are in iambic tetramenter (for a total of eight syllables per line), and the first, fourth, and seventh lines are identical, as are the second and final lines. This means that the poem begins and ends with the same couplet. Beyond this, there is a tight rhyme scheme (helped along by the repetition of lines) — ABaAabAB.”

SPRING HAS FOUND HER FACE
Thank heaven Spring has found her face
With green and Sun she comes to rise
Let the season begin the race
Thank heaven Spring has found her face
With hope she doesn’t leave in haste
To fast her leave would be a waste
Thank Heaven Spring has found her face
With green and Sun she comes to rise
Finally!
