modified triolet dedicated to my friend James

A chapter in the book Triolets: Traditional and Modified

Point of View

by adewpearl


My lungs breathe in the salty air
as squawking gulls fly overhead,
and in this moment I'm aware
as lungs breathe in the salty air,
I am for them but one to share
a morsel of my crusty bread.
My lungs breathe in the salty air
as squawking gulls fly overhead.

The triolet is a French repeating form composed of 8 lines written in iambic meter. The rhyming pattern is ABaAabAB. The capitalized letters denote which lines are repeated, so line 1 is also lines 4 and 7 and line 2 is repeated as line 8. I have changed the first word in line 4, which is why I call this a modified triolet.
It is important to note the title of this poem :-)
