Haiku & Other Poetry, tutto e niente

we are the ones

Tina Stewart Brakebill

we are the ones that dwell within

watching and waiting for the end

in the dark we witness your sin

 

we are the ones that dwell within

that burn you feel under your skin

the edge of madness at the bend 

 

we are the ones that dwell within

watching and waiting for the end

I enjoyed creating a triolet earlier this week for the w3 prompt, so I did it again. But this time I went with the 8-syllable version and leaned into the SPOOKY. Thanks for the added inspiration to Esther (EDGE) and dVerse poets (we are the ones that dwell within). See below for info on Triolets.

Poetics: It’s Not That Scary

According to Sarah Whiley … 

A Triolet is an 8-line poem where lines repeat in a beautiful rhythm:

Lines 1, 4, and 7 are the same, and lines 2 and 8 are also repeated.

The rhyme scheme looks like this: ABaAabAB (uppercase = repeated lines).

If you’d like to make it a little trickier, try writing each line with 8 syllables (iambic tetrameter, the classic French style) — or challenge yourself with 10 syllables per line (the English version).
