#NaPoWriMo Day 4
My first attempt at a triolet*
The river flows from spring to sea
past golden fields and moonless woods
It washes and it carries me
the river flows from spring to sea
So I let go, becoming free
Pale petals flung on winter floods
The river flows from spring to sea
past golden fields and moonless woods
*A triolet is an eight-line poem. All the lines are in iambic tetramenter (for a total of eight syllables per line), and the first, fourth, and seventh lines are identical, as are the second and final lines. This means that the poem begins and ends with the same couplet. Beyond this, there is a tight rhyme scheme (helped along by the repetition of lines) — ABaAabAB.
