A chapter in the book Triolets: Traditional and Modified

Shifting Tides

by adewpearl

If I feel puffed up by my pride
to think I've reason for conceit,
I stand where sand meets shifting tide
if I feel puffed up by my pride
to watch a whole world tossed aside.
With one brief glimpse of change so fleet,
if I feel puffed up by my pride,
I lose all reason for conceit.




Recognized


In a triolet the second line is repeated as the eighth line. In my modified version, there is some change in wording in the final line, so I lay no claim to this poem's being a true triolet.
