Get in the Game - A Triolet

 The 4th poem of 2025 is due today. The assignment was to write a Triolet. 

A Triolet: 

Has 8 lines. 

Each line has 8 syllables. 

The 1st line recurs as the 4th and 7th. 

The 2nd line recurs as the 8th. 

The rhyme pattern is abaaabab.

Here is the poem I submitted.


Get in the Game 

The world needs you just as you are!

Get in the game – ready or not.

The night wants some shine? Be a star.

The world needs you just as you are!

Your song can’t be heard from afar?

Just hum if a hum’s all you’ve got.

The world needs you just as you are!

Get in the game – ready or not.
