No Guarantee (Triolet)

by Meme   Jun 18, 2012


Why should I keep waiting,
when there is no guarantee
that our love is not fading.
Why should I keep waiting,
always the one compensating
when you give up so easily.
Why should I keep waiting
when there is no guarantee.

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.

    Oh, lovely, I particulary loved this:

    "Why should I keep waiting,
    always the one compensating
    when you give up so easily."

    Again, somehow a gremlin (�����) crept into the works, in your title:

    No Guarantee ����� (Triolet)
