Interlinked Novetrains
A chapter in the book Family
A Precious Gift
by Treischel
|
These two are my grandchildren Isaac and Skylah playing on the floor, absorbed in investigating their toys. I love to watch children play and to see how they think and learn. It is a precious gift. Of course they do have their moments that they aren't so sweet. But don't we all?
This poem is a set of Interlinked Novetrains (Novem is Latin for nine, so these are 9 line stanzas). I put this together using some of the atributes of a Triolet with its ABaAabAB rhyme scheme. You'll see that echoed in lines 1-4, and then again in 8 and 9. The interlink occurs on line 7, which repeats in the next stanza and brings along its rhyme. Then in the Last stanza, I brought back the A line and rhyme from the first stanza. The rhyme scheme is:
ABaAbcCAB - CDcCdeECD - EFeEfGEF - GHgGhaAGH.
The capital letters indicate the repeated lines.
