  Triolet - LoveToKnow 1911   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-08)
The medieval triolet was usually written in lines of ten syllables, and the lightness of touch in the modern specimens was unknown to these perfectly serious examples.
The earliest triolets in English are those of a devotional nature composed in 1651 by Patrick Carey, a Benedictine monk at Douai, where he probably had become acquainted with what Voiture had made a fashionable French pastime.
In many languages the triolet has come into very frequent use to give point and brightness to a brief stroke of satire; the French newspapers are full of examples of this.

 Poetry Form - The Triolet.
The Triolet ("triplet"), a French verse form, is a poem or a stanza of eight lines that include two rhymes and two refrains.
While the Triolet is often used to express humor, some of the first English triolets (the first may have been composed the Benedictine Patrick Carey in the seventeenth century) were essentially spiritual.
A writer of the Triolet is often also interested in longer forms with refrains, such as the Villanelle and the Pantoum.

 Triolet - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
A triolet (IPA: [ˈtɹiːəˌlɨt], or [ˌtɹiːəˈleɪ]) is a poetic form.
An effective conventional triolet achieves two things; firstly the naturalness of the refrain and secondly the alteration of the refrain's meaning.
Triolets are a reasonably rare form; but their concise nature is a good start for new poets.

Labeled "The Couple" by the press in the 50's and 60's, Aragon (1897-1982) and Triolet (1896-1970) were at the center of the French Intellectual movement for almost 30 years, during which time France was grappling with the most charged issues of the 20th Century--World War, de-Stalinization and the Cold War.
Aragon and Triolet were led by their unconditional loyalty to the Communist Party to deny, misrepresent or even justify the repressive nature of the totalitarian regimes of the Eastern bloc.

The requirements of this fixed form are straightforward: the first line is repeated in the fourth and seventh lines; the second line is repeated in the final line; and only the first two end-words are used to complete the tight rhyme scheme.
French in origin, and likely dating to the thirteenth century, the triolet is a close cousin of the rondeau, another French verse form emphasizing repetition and rhyme.
Though some employed the triolet as a vehicle for light or humorous themes, Thomas Hardy recognized the possibilities for melancholy and seriousness, if the repetition could be skillfully employed to mark a shift in the meaning of repeated lines.

 triolet
The triolet has eight lines, and it comes from a French word meaning “small trio.” I have no idea how its name came about – it is one of those enigmas of language - perhaps the "small trio" refers to the three repititions of the first line.
I had only seen humorous ones, but when I got around to trying to write one, I found it can be deceptively powerful - like the quick stabbing of a stiletto…and suddenly I realized that a poem I have loved all my life is actually one of these powerful triolets.
