Beneath this old house is a mystery
Sky’s falling, heaven and hell flowing
On serial pain within our history
Beneath this old house is a mystery
Awful, weather-cold and blistery
Urgency for atonement growing
Beneath this old house is a mystery
Sky’s falling, heaven and hell flowing*

*A Triolet is a poetic form consisting of only 8 lines. Within a Triolet, the 1st, 4th, and 7th lines repeat, and the 2nd and 8th lines do as well. The rhyme scheme is simple: ABaAabAB, capital letters representing the repeated lines.

The triolet can be deceptive when you think the lines are repeated. So I enjoy this form it when the poem, as you have done, creates an emotional feel or lamenting mystery. Loved it.
