Let’s move this town to higher ground [a modern triolet]*

Let’s move this town to higher ground      
We know these plains will flood again       
We are not bound to stay and drown        
Let’s move this town to higher ground     
A home more sound may yet be found      
These window panes will fill with rain        
Let’s move this town to higher ground      
We know these plains will flood again       

*A Note on My Original Triolet

The internal rhyme located on the second stress of each line is not a formal requirement, but a creative choice by the author. I began the poem with the first line, where the internal rhyme felt natural enough, and decided to challenge myself to see if I could carry the pattern through to the end.
