Friday Fling #274 for March 14th 2014<\/font><\/strong><\/p>\n


\n It’s Barbie’s birthday!\u00a0 She’s getting on a bit,<\/font><\/font><\/strong><\/p>\n

about 55 now, but still does not look a day over 16.<\/font><\/strong><\/p>\n


\n<\/font><\/strong><\/p>\n

\"<\/a><\/p>\n


\n <\/font><\/strong><\/p>\n

So we thought, why not celebrate<\/font><\/strong><\/p>\n

with a challenge about our favorite toys?<\/font><\/font><\/strong><\/p>\n

<\/font><\/font><\/strong><\/p>\n

For emphasizing strong feelings, a good format is the Triolet,<\/font><\/font><\/font><\/strong><\/p>\n

because it is short yet has quite a few opportunities to repeat an important line.<\/font><\/strong><\/p>\n

According to ShadowPoetry.com,<\/font><\/strong><\/p>\n


\n A Triolet is a poetic form consisting of only 8 lines.<\/font><\/font><\/strong><\/p>\n

Within a Triolet, the 1st, 4th, and\u00a0 7th lines repeat, and the 2nd and 8th lines do as well.<\/font><\/font><\/strong><\/p>\n

The rhyme scheme is simple:\u00a0 ABaAabAB, capital letters representing the repeated lines.<\/font><\/font><\/font><\/strong><\/p>\n

<\/font><\/font><\/font><\/strong><\/p>\n

Make writing a Triolet more challenging! <\/font><\/font><\/font><\/strong><\/p>\n

Make each line 8 syllables in length (4 metrical feet), written in iambic tetrameter (the more common way),<\/font><\/font><\/font><\/strong><\/p>\n

or try it in pentameter (English version) where each line only has 10 syllables(5 metrical feet).<\/font><\/font><\/font><\/strong><\/p>\n

As an example, here’s one of three Triolets <\/strong><\/font><\/p>\n

our then-cohost Michelle King created for the original challenge:<\/strong><\/font><\/p>\n
