Triple Rebel Round

This form was invented her by Rebel_Coyote of AllPoetry.com.

The poem consists of Three 5-line stanzas.
There are two styles,each having a triplet mono-rhyme.

 Version 1:  aaaBB cccBB dddBB
 Version 2:  aaBBB ccBBB ddBBB

Each Stanza has the first three lines of  mono-rhyme, followed by a two line refrain
of a different mono-rhyme.  The refrain occurs in the following two stanzas as well.

The second style is changed only in that it uses a THREE-line Refrain
As in this sample "Let's Write a Triple Rebel Round"

No meter is specified, but tetrameter or pentameter is suggested.


Example Poem
Momma Lost Me

My mother worked at Woolworths five and ten
and she'd let me ride to town now and then.
The bus driver knew where she worked and when.
At five years old the bus ride was great fun.
"Just stay aboard, I'll get you little one."

Nana'd put me on and she'd pay the fare.
When we reach her stop, momma would be there.
Except the time she wasn't anywhere.
At five years old the bus ride was great fun.
"Just stay aboard, I'll get you little one."

We passed the stop-- I 'membered what she said.
The driver winked "Let's see what lies ahead."
Mom found me on our return trip instead.
At five years old the bus ride was great fun.
"Just stay aboard, I'll get you little one."

Note: This was about 67 years ago in Ogden, Utah
A much safer time and place.  As usual the parent suffers more than the child.
