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...
The meter is not specified but is usualy tetrameter or pentameter.

Peaceful and quiet is this evening.
Like a thousand diamonds, the many stars
glitter in the velvet sky, and the fragrance of jasmine-

the sweet, heavenly fragrance of jasmine-
perfumes the warm air of this June evening.
The smiling moon glows among the winking stars.

And as I lie here tonight beneath the stars,
breathing in the delicious essence of jasmine,
I revel in the beauty of this evening,

this perfect evening, with the sparkling stars and the moon's smile, white as a jasmine blossom.

Shining moon

As I lay they’re crying
I see the moon shining
Though the puddle of tears

Thinking I shouldn’t be here with these tears
There is nothing left for crying
there is nothing shining

nothing out there shining
it's way for me anymore. let the tears
start coming. let me start crying

i want to stop crying, but tears keep making this puddle that lets me see the moon shining.
