THE TRIOLET. Origin; France
The Triolet (though originally utilized as a vehicle for carrying serious poetry) is more recently considered to be a light form that should not carry too intense or complicated a meaning.
It is an eight line poem where the first line is repeated for line four and the first two lines are repeated as a refrain for lines seven and eight.
The style is most often written in fairly short lines with mixed meter.
Triolet Rhyme Scheme ; A B a A a b A B
EXAMPLE
I beg you, let me rest
and dance my way to dreamstate
while the sun bows to the west.
I beg you, let me rest
and waltz ... at my subconscious's request
to the rhythm of my heart rate.
I beg you, let me rest
and dance my way to dreamstate.

Thanks VivaldiFall,
My son bought me a book called "The Poets Manual and Rhyming Dictionary" by Frances Stillman for Christmas and I highly recommend it. I found quiet a few poetry forms in there that I had not come across before, the Triolet being just one of them.
I'm thoroughly enjoying trying out the different styles although I have to admit a lot of what I've written so far is unworthy of posting
I shall probably post some other forms once I've practised a little more and progressed further though it's pages.

Ethics
Enlightenment shows ethics an illusion,
while religion and ethics are kin.
This often leads to confusion.
Enlightenment shows ethics an illusion
and seems to come to this conclusion;
that ethics may be a mere human whim.
