Poetry Guide > Forms > Octosyllabic Triplet
The octosyllabic triplet form consists of rhyming sets of three iambic tetrameter verses.1
Examples of the octosyllabic couplet
A still, small voice spake unto me:
“Thou art so full of misery,
Were it not better not to be?”Then to the still, small voice I said:
“Let me not cast in endless shade
What is so wonderfully made!”
- Tennyson
