Icebound (Rondelet)

by Meme   Oct 2, 2015


Does he cry then?
when words fail to resurrect her.
Does he cry then?
as her scent fades out with his sin,
into a remnant of a blur,
loneliness will only linger,
Does he cry then?

**Rondelet**
----------------
The Rondelet is a French form consisting of a single septet with two rhymes and one refrain: AbAabbA. The capital letters are the refrains, or repeats. The refrain is written in tetra-syllabic or dimeter and the other lines are twice as long - octasyllabic or tetrameter.

    This is excellent and I have learned something here: I had no idea what a Rondelet was; I hadn't even heard of it!
    Really well expressed and wonderfully written.
    All the very best,
    Ben

    It's not how you write it just why you write it. 5/5 non the less great job of expressing yourself.
