Just pondering.

This Poem is a Tricet Sonnet.
Never heard of that? Well, that's because I just created it. At least, to the best of my knowledge and research. You see, I like poems that have triple consecutive rhymes. I feel that really brings the rhyme to life. So, I incorporated that here in this Sonnet. The name Tricet derives from the triple-rhymed tercet (tri-cet).

A Tricet Sonnet has the usual 14 lines, but consists of four tercets with a rhyming couplet, and a volta at line 10. The lines of each of the tercets mono-rhyme. The rhyme scheme is:
aaa bbb ccc ddd ee
It is written in Dactylic dimeter. A dactyl is a meter with a hard stress followed by two soft stresses. This poem repeats it twice in each line.
