= Triolet
{wiki=Triolet}
A triolet is a poetic form consisting of eight lines with a specific rhyme scheme (ABABAHAA) and a particular structure. The first, fourth, and seventh lines are identical, and the second and eighth lines are also a repetition. This creates a musical quality and emphasizes the refrains. The form originated in the Middle Ages and is often used to express themes of love or nature. Its repeated lines can evoke a sense of longing or urgency in the poem.
