Cassie’s Party

A Birthday is a special day
It’s set aside for fun
A time to party and to play
This day won’t be out done
It’s party time on beach and sand
The biggest party in the land
It’s party time
It’s party time
Bon Jovi’s coming with his band

A Birthday is a special day
The Birthday of a girl
So let’s go shopping this I say
And set her heart a whirl
Cassie’s Birthday makes us smile
We haven’t partied in a while
Cassie’s Birthday
Cassie’s Birthday
We shop for gifts in every aisle

A Birthday is a special day
The gift I bought is real
Bon Jovi that will sing and sway
A guy with buns of steal
A party guy that she can keep
And snuggle close when she’s asleep
A party guy
A party guy
I paid the band, it wasn’t cheap

Trijan Refrain
The Trijan Refrain, created by Jan Turner, consists of three 9-line stanzas, for a total of 27 lines. Line 1 is the same in all three stanzas, although a variation of the form is not to repeat the same line at the beginning of each stanza. In other words, the beginning line of each stanza can be different. The first four syllables of line 5 in each stanza are repeated as the double-refrain for lines 7 and 8. The Trijan Refrain is a rhyming poem with a set meter and rhyme scheme as follows:
Rhyme scheme: a/b/a/b/c/c/d,d refrain of first 4 words of line five /c
Meter: 8/6/8/6/8/8/4, 4 refrain/8

    An excellent use of this whimsical form. Bravo. Not just another stale tribute. Great poem and should find the winners circle.

    wonderful! I am very new to writing this form (grand total 1!!!) but this seems a great use of it, gives excuses for play and fun. The semi-isolated last line in each stanza (like the sapphics and triplets I adore) gives an open invitation to the joke.
    Overall excellent poem!
