Temporal
by Clara Mae GregoryTemporal Dawn's luminous lights
warm the morning glories folded still.
Awaiting the relief from cold nights,
Temporal Dawn's luminous lights
arouse the Terra garden's delights.
Awakening Song bells from their chill,
Temporal Dawn's luminous lights
warm the morning glories folded still. 02/07/2009
Author's Note: (reposted for archives,slightly revised)
*My first attempt at writing a triolet
triolet, a poem of eight lines using only two rhymes, the first two lines being repeated as the final two lines, the first line also recurring as the fourth. The rhyme scheme—with repeated lines given in capitals—is ABaAabAB. The triolet is one of the medieval French fixed forms, and may be considered as a simplified form of the rondel. A few English poets, including Austin Dobson and W. E. Henley, revived it in the late 19th century.
