Gone Forever(Triolet)

by Jad   Jul 30, 2009


I blame myself for what happen that day,
And it will never come back again.
So I stand here crying my tears as I say:
I blame myself for what happen that day.
I let her go, and went a different way.
Now this wound only time will mend.
I blame myself for what happen that day,
And it will never come back again.

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.

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).

    Quite a common feeling among a lot of us. Losing something and being full of regets realizing that one thing will not come back. Maybe just put a little footnote about your form you're using. Well done other than that. A short poem but a common feeling I know many of us have felt or will feel sometime in our lives. It happens to all of us!
