The Shining in Poets Biography & Poetry Resource Directory

The triolet, as a poetic form, is French in origin; it is composed of eight lines, only two of which rhyme. The compositionscheme is as follows: A B a A a b A B a capital letter represents a repeated line. It would seem that the simplicity of the form is rivalled only by the challenge of managing its repetition so that they come naturally and inevitably, and all the while maintaining repetitionvariety so that the shifts in emphasis are comprehensive.
