What in reality
Gives life vitality,
Or its finality?
Often there's ecstasy,
Sometimes malignancy.
Is it just fantasy?
When there is agony,
There is no harmony.
That is the irony!
It's to heaven I pray
To make THIS a fine day,
Keep the evil away.
Inner peace can be found.
Then our JOY will abound!

Author Notes
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.
