Triolets: Traditional and Modified
: Hey You! by adewpearl


Hey, you! the one just sitting there,
it's time to stand up and engage.
I see you squirming in that chair --
yes, you! the one just sitting there.
You'll never change what you despair
by hanging in the wings backstage.
Hey, you! the one just sitting there,
it's time to stand up and engage.

Author Notes
The triolet is an 8 line repeating form poem that originated in France in the middle ages. The lines, written in iambic meter, have a rhyme scheme of ABaAabAB. All A lines are identical as are the B lines. In this modified, contemporary triolet, there is one word changed in refrain line #4.
