Like No One is Watching
Dance with me in the darkened wood
Beneath a heavy harvest moon
Among the trees where grace once stood
Dance with me in the darkened wood
Kick off your shoes - unveil your hood
A haunting wind will play the tune
Dance with me in the darkened wood
Beneath a heavy harvest moon
Beneath a heavy harvest moon
Among the trees where grace once stood
Dance with me in the darkened wood
Kick off your shoes - unveil your hood
A haunting wind will play the tune
Dance with me in the darkened wood
Beneath a heavy harvest moon
*A triolet is an eight-line poem. All the lines are in iambic tetramenter (for a total of eight syllables per line), and the first, fourth, and seventh lines are identical, as are the second and final 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.

It's one of the better ones. Triolet is a difficult form and you've nailed it.
Thank you so much!!!
