Triolet
A French verse form. Its rhyme scheme is ABaAabAB and all lines are in iambic tetrameter; the first, fourth and seventh lines are identical, as are the second and final lines, thereby making the initial and final couplets identical as well. The features of the Triolet are: 8 lines. Two rhymes. 5 of the 8 lines are repeated or refrain lines. First line repeats at the 4th and 7th lines. Second line repeats at the 8th line.

Happiness gets tethered to joy, as it morphs into laughs of hope. Pursued by every girl and boy, happiness gets tethered to joy. Joy can mean your favorite toy an old puzzle, or jumping rope. Happiness gets tethered to joy, as it morphs into laughs of hope. An old puzzle, or jumping rope, fun makes do with whatever's near. Families find fun ways to cope, an old puzzle, or jumping rope, or even carving bars of soap. Summertime is finally here, an old puzzle or jumping rope, fun makes do with whatever's near. Summertime is finally here, what a time to be stuck inside. Although this year there's little cheer, summertime is finally here. The coronavirus feeds fear, in deference to those that died summertime is finally here, what a time to be stuck inside. (Intertwining Triolet) 07/05/2020
