A triolet ( or ) is a stanza poem of eight lines. Its rhyme scheme is ''ABaAabAB'' and often all lines are in iambic tetrameter: the first, fourth and seventh lines are identical, as are the second and final lines, thereby making the initial and final couplets identical as well. ==Examples== The form stems from medieval French poetry - the earliest written examples are from the late 13th century. The triolet is a close cousin of the rondeau, another French verse form emphasizing repetition and rhyme. Some of the earliest known triolets composed in English were written by Patrick Cary, briefly a Benedictine at Douai, who purportedly used them in his devotions. British poet Robert Bridges reintroduced the triolet to the English language, where it enjoyed a brief popularity among late-nineteenth-century British poets. An effective conventional triolet achieves two things; firstly the naturalness of the refrain and secondly the alteration of the refrain's meaning. :"Birds At Winter" :''Around the house the flakes fly faster,'' :''And all the berries now are gone'' :''From holly and cotoneaster'' :''Around the house. The flakes fly! – faster'' :''Shutting indoors the crumb-outcaster'' :''We used to see upon the lawn'' :''Around the house. The Flakes fly faster'' :''And all the berries now are gone!'' :Thomas Hardy Notice how in the last line the punctuation is altered; this is common although not strictly in keeping with the original form. Furthermore, the fact that the 'berries now are gone' has a new relevance; the birds are going unfed. Triolets are a relatively rare form. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Triolet」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
