Light Dancing in Shadows

Light dancing in shadows pathway,
like a delightful children’s game
forgetting sorrows of the day.
Light dancing in shadows pathway,
silent from lack of words to say.
Oh, that life could contain the same.
Light dancing in shadows pathway,
like a delightful children’s game


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.
