a triolet of memory
Triolets: Traditional and Modified
:
We Kissed Beneath the Waterfall

We kissed beneath the waterfall
that moment when our love first flowed.
No sweeter moment I recall
than kissing neath the waterfall
when tender touch held me enthralled
with all the riches life bestowed
as kisses neath the waterfall
conjoined two hearts as love first flowed.

Author Notes
The triolet is an 8 line poem dating back to minstrels in Medieval France. Each line is in iambic tetrameter. The rhyme scheme is ABaAabAB. The capital letters designate which lines are repeated, so that line 1 is also lines 4 and 7 and line 2 is also line 8. I have modified the repeating lines.
Some time ago I poetically immortalized my first kiss in the front seat of a Dodge Dart in a mall parking lot. Fast forward several months to a day in the Pocono Mountains. Oh, to be 18 again, at least for one glorious day. :-)
