Rules of the Triolet Form...
The requirements of this fixed form are straightforward: the first line is repeated in the fourth and seventh lines; the second line is repeated in the final line; and only the first two end-words are used to complete the tight rhyme scheme. Thus, the poet writes only five original lines, giving the triolet a deceptively simple appearance: ABaAabAB, where capital letters indicate repeated lines.

| I can see your light From your pit of hell Don’t give up your fight I can still see your light Can’t wait for no knight I know how far you fell But I can still see your light From your pit of hell (April 17, 2020) |  |
