To honor your favorite, try a Triolet. As ShadowPoetry.com notes,<\/strong><\/font><\/p>\n

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

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

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

Embrace twilight and bid farewell
\nto passion’s warmth and sweet caress.
\nA grave’s prepared where she will dwell
\nembrace twilight and bid farewell.
\nO hear the mourning of her bell
\nthat tolls for sorrows you supress
\nembrace twilight and bid farewell
\nto passion’s warmth and sweet caress.<\/strong><\/font><\/p>\n

This week the Friday Fling elebrates acting favorites in Triolets!<\/strong><\/font><\/p>\n
