Not yet exceptional. When the exceptional rating is reached this is highlighted
modified triolet dedicated to my friend James
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.

Author Notes
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 :-)
