Steam Will Power All of London


Cogs and gears begin to turn
The inventor lights up with joy
For the boiler, the coal will burn
Cogs and gears begin to turn
Steam clouts London, he has discerned
Steam power we will enjoy
Cogs and gears begin to turn
The inventor lights up with joy


Hello, all! I have returned. This is not my usual submission, I know, but this is my first attempt at writing a triolet. It is common in Steampunk poetry and consists of eight lines of iambic tetrameter. I will be using this in a short story I am writing for my science fiction and fantasy class. I probably will not keep my current title (even though it ironically also has eight syllables). I am not quite sure if I like it yet.
