Big Bang: a triolet by Adam Rutter


As our April meeting warm up activity we revisited the 'triolet' verse form.

Originating in mediaeval France, the triolet is an 8 line poem in which the first two and the last two lines are repeated (A and B) and the first line (A) is repeated for line 4. 

There is  a rhyme scheme : A B a A a b A B  (lines A, a and a should rhyme and lines B and b should rhyme).

BIG BANG   by Adam Rutter

At the beginning was the Big Bang

Stars and galaxies were born

The first signs of life then sprang

At the beginning was the Big Bang

Supernova explosions rang

With song the entire universe performed

At the beginning was the Big Bang

Stars and galaxies were born
