==The modern English triolet== The following is an example of a modern English triolet. {{poem quote|"Birds At Winter" Around the house the flakes fly faster, And all the berries now are gone From holly and cotoneaster Around the house. The flakes fly! β faster Shutting indoors the crumb-outcaster We used to see upon the lawn Around the house. The Flakes fly faster And all the berries now are gone!|[[Thomas Hardy]]}} In the last line the punctuation is altered; this is common although not strictly in keeping with the original form. Furthermore, the fact that the "berries now are gone" has a new relevance, the birds are going unfed, creates a new significance from the line repetition.
