Day 4 

prompt

Try writing Triolets.  A triolet is an eight-lined poem.  All lines are in iambic tetramenter  (for a total of 8 syllables per line) and the 1st, 4th and 7th lines are identical, as are the 2nd and 8th lines.  This means that the poem begins and ends with the same couplet.  Beyond this, there is a tight rhyme scheme (helped along by the repetition of lines)  ABaAabAB.

The Forge Hammer

In this old tradition, the forge

hammer on anvil, such heat and sweat

touches everything with passion

in this old tradition. The forge

full of mystery and amazement

not just  name but a business

in this old tradition, The Forge

Hammer, on anvil such heat and sweat!
