As crystal flakes float to the ground
they make my world a fairyland
of feath'ry fields and muted sound
as crystal flakes float to the ground
I feel a magic few have found
and fewer still could ever plan
as crystal flakes float to the ground
to make my world a fairyland.

Author Notes
I've eliminated punctuation for ease of flow
The triolet is a centuries old French repeating form of only 8 lines. Line 1 is repeated as lines 4 and 7, and line 2 is repeated as line 8. The rhyme scheme is ABaAabAB, and the meter is iambic.
I have taken the liberty of altering one word in the final line to improve both flow and sense.
