Tragedy (Triolet)

by Meme   Mar 9, 2012


Only because you're my tragedy
I will die a million times every day;
entrapped in my own destiny,
only because you're my tragedy.
I can't cheat what's meant to be,
even if I relive my yesterdays,
only because you're my tragedy
I will die a million times every day.

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.

    Absolute brilliance! I just got the double amount I get from the sadness in any piece. Short, but so heavy and rimmed with melancholy.

    I can sense the inspiration from Christina Perri's "Tragedy".

    LOVE IT, amazing Meme.

    I absolutely loved this! I love Triolets! I find forms like this very hard to do because a lines have to be repeated and each time they have to still make sense throughout your poem..You did a very good job with this! Sad story behind it :/
