Never Again Will I Dare Lose

Never Again Will I Dare Lose (Triolet sonnet) The last day your heart was all mine Your kiss sent me into a spin That memory sent me to choose Another path to make you mine And again our love never lose Playing this game to always win Join only your sweet heart with mine This lovely dream has no tail-spin Never again will I dare lose Your hand softly resting in mine United we are doing fine Our hot love is not ever sin It is sweetest proof you are mine And never lost to other men Robert J. Lindley, 10-20-2015 Syllables Per Line: 8 8 8 8 8 8 8 8 8 8 8 8 8 8 Total # Syllables: 112 Total # Lines: 14 (Including empty lines) Words with (syllables) counted programmatically: Total # Words: 89 Triolet sonnet- The rhyme pattern becomes: A. B. a. A. a. b. A. B. a. A. a. b. A. B.?It would work with the A & B lines being completely repeated or just a phrase or just the rhyme word repeated. The a and b are of course just standard rhyme. There is no set syllable count, although eight syllables is common with most of the French forms. My promised effort to Peter Duggan using this form. Given after reading his fine poem- "First few days of spring" written in this sonnet form.
