Triolet

Last week, we practiced using a triolet, a French-based form utilizing an eight-line stanza and a rhyme scheme. The first line is repeated as the fourth and seventh lines, and the second line is repeated as the eighth line. Here's a sample by LuAnn Kennedy:

We Poets 

We poets are so very strange!
We write and write and lose our minds!
Emotions flow in quite a range;
We poets are so very strange!
We’re happy. Then, we quickly change;
To make a world it takes all kinds.
We poets are so very strange!
We write and write and lose our minds!
