According to ShadowPoetry.com,<\/strong><\/font><\/p>\n<p><font face=\"arial, helvetica, sans-serif\" size=\"4\" color=\"#999999\"><strong>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.<\/strong><\/font><\/p>\n<p><font face=\"arial, helvetica, sans-serif\" size=\"4\" color=\"#999999\"><strong>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). <\/strong><\/font><\/p>\n<p><font face=\"arial, helvetica, sans-serif\" size=\"3\" color=\"#999999\"><strong>My Heart Residing in Thy Chest<\/strong><\/font><\/p>\n<p><font face=\"arial, helvetica, sans-serif\" size=\"3\" color=\"#999999\"><strong>In response to Shelly&#8217;s, &#8220;The Indian Serenade&#8221;.<\/strong><\/font><\/p>\n<p><font face=\"arial, helvetica, sans-serif\" size=\"3\" color=\"#999999\"><strong>For, break it shall and so it must<br \/>\nMy heart residing in thy chest<br \/>\nWhen placed in care of lover&#8217;s trust<br \/>\nFor, break it shall and so it must<br \/>\nPassion&#8217;s ashes returned to dust<br \/>\nThis lonely heart is laid to rest<br \/>\nFor, break it shall and so it must<br \/>\nMy heart residing in thy chest<\/strong><\/font><\/p>\n<p><font face=\"arial, helvetica, sans-serif\" size=\"2\" color=\"#999999\"><strong>Copyright \u00a9 2003 Dan Tharp<\/strong><\/font><\/p>\n<p><font face=\"arial, helvetica, sans-serif\" size=\"4\" color=\"#999999\"><strong>This week the Friday Fling fetes favorite fabricated fun playthings!<\/strong><\/font><\/p>\n<p><font face=\"arial, helvetica, sans-serif\" size=\"4\" color=\"#999999\"><strong>Be sure to save time to read and comment playfully on your fellow Pals&#8217; Triolet tributes.
