Mandy's Triolet

A little girl named Emma sat,
Without first looking down, of course,
Upon her sister Madi's hat.
A little girl named Emma sat,
It made her sister's hat go flat,
But Madi didn't know the source.
A little girl named Emma sat,
Without first looking down, of course.

Mana's Challenge

Ok, Family,
Here is the challenge (like we did several years ago.) I'd like to ask you all to write another Triolet (I THINK that's what we did last time. You know my memory! Anyway, here it is:

It's an eight-line poem -- Make each line eight syllables(That's easy)
The first line is repeated as the 4th line AND the 7th line
The second line is repeated as the 8th (final) line.
Lines 3 and 5 must rhyme with the 1st line
Line 6 must rhyme with the 2nd line.

Everyone did so well last time, I can't wait to see what you can do!
Love and Blessings,
Mana
