Friday Fictioneers and Wordle 582 – a mystery

PHOTO PROMPT © J Hardy Carroll

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.
