reflective triolet
A chapter in the book Triolets: Traditional and Modified
In Dreams I am a Gliding Swan

While in my dreams I am a swan who glides upon a placid lake, when morning breaks my peace has gone while in my dreams I am a swan. Why must my fears awake with dawn, replacing peace with throbbing ache while in my dreams I am a swan who glides upon a placid lake? |

The triolet is a French repeating form that dates back to minstrels of the Middle Ages. Only eight lines long, it is written in iambic meter and has a rhyme scheme of ABaAabAB.
The capital letters show which lines are repeated, so line 1 is also lines 4 and 7, and line 2 is also line 8.
