Tritina

Being modeled from the Sestina, there is no rhyme scheme, instead it comprises of three stanzas using the same three words in a Sestina like pattern, and a final line which uses the three words in the starting sequence:

A.. B.. C...
C.. A.. B...
B.. C.. A...
A,B,C...

Example

Their battles fought, their lives they lived, and now our fathers sleep,
And though their spirits take to flight, their memories linger here,
With souls now free to live in peace, their battles rage forever.

In stories told, in books we read, their past will live forever,
So we can know what went before, 'ere with them we do sleep,
And in this way, share legacy with those who still are here.

We help our children learn the past, of things before and here,
And pray that they will not forget, and memories keep forever,
Then pass them down to those who come, before they too will sleep.

And when all things are said and done, we too sleep here forever.

As soon as I open my eyes and see that you and I are here
My heart would want no one else but you and I together
So I want you in my arms forever

Wanting for our lives to begin with forever
I am waiting for you here
Hoping we will be together

With you and I together
We will have forever
With each other right here

So we will be here together forever
