Triolet #1: I Had An Axe

By SilentStalker

*first attempt at such a format, and drunk at that; let me know what you think*

I had an axe; she had no name
Her blade was sharper than a knife
At night we play a little game
I had an axe; she had no name

My love for her was set aflame
Whenever we would take a life
I had an axe; she had no name
Her blade was sharper than a knife

...the triolet, and I always thought the repeating made it too simple to come up with something; guess you eventually figure out how to use it to heighten the main parts of a stanza...

...and I've decided to try this format for my second installment of my Stalker series; and that, and changing between second and third person, should add a little something to it...
