Become light
Let the heaviness lift
See as a child
Become light
Share in her delight
See life as true gift
Become light
Let the heaviness lift
Triolet
A triolet is a traditional French single-stanza poem of eight lines with a rhyme scheme of ABAAABAB; however, it only consists of five unique lines. The first line is repeated as the fourth and seventh line, and the second line is repeated as the eighth line.
Thank you for reading and listening!

Oh, wonderful! I really love this repetition in the triolet. It's great that you use all these different forms. Do you know the dVerse poets pub? It's a website/blog that has been around for many years, where poets share poetry based on prompts that also often include specific formats. I like to dip in once in a while to experiment with different forms. It's fun.
