contemplative triolet
A chapter in the book Triolets: Traditional and Modified
Sparkling Stars

When troubled thoughts disturb my sleep, I contemplate the sparkling stars that dot the heavens dark and deep when troubled thoughts disturb my sleep. If blackest night the stars can sweep, I know their light can heal my scars. When troubled thoughts disturb my sleep, I contemplate the sparkling stars. |

The triolet is a poem of 8 lines with line one repeated as lines four and seven and line two repeated as line eight. The rhyme scheme is ABaAabAB.
If the phrase "dark and deep" sounds familiar to you, it is because I have borrowed it from Robert Frost's "Stopping by Woods on a Snowy Evening." This triolet is my homage to him.
