As if were lost, I searched for me,
Many years so long have come to pass.
-Outside myself I thought would be,
As if were lost, I searched for me.
But soon I found ‘twas not decreed,
Light within soon shown at last.
As if were lost, I searched for me,
Many years so long have come to pass!
From Poets.org http://www.poets.org: The triolet
The triolet is a short poem of eight lines with only two rhymes used throughout. The requirements of this fixed form are straightforward: the first line is repeated in the fourth and seventh lines; the second line is repeated in the final line; and only the first two end-words are used to complete the tight rhyme scheme. Thus, the poet writes only five original lines, giving the triolet a deceptively simple appearance: ABaAabAB, where capital letters indicate repeated lines.
