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?

Author Notes
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.
