NaPoWriMo 2014 Day 20

It's time for a Triolet - A triolet is an eight-line poem.  All the lines are in iambicic tetramenter (for a total of eight syllables per line), and the first, fourth, and seventh lines are identical, as are the second and final lines.  This means that the poem begins and ends with the same couplet.  Beyond this, there is a tight rhyme scheme (helped along by the repetition of lines) - ABaAabAB.


A different girl I would be
Somewhere in a different land
If you had never looked at me
A different girl I would be
I guess it's pretty plain to see
Though it is hard to understand
A different girl I would be
Somewhere in a different land
