rondeau
In Light She's Bathed
by adewpearl
|
In light she's bathed in Heaven's glow, my home, this world I love and know, this place of coruscating streams whose ripples glint as sunshine gleams, where flowers bloom and visions grow. I hear her songs as currents flow and cascade to a pool below, as waters dance in sparkling beams. In light she's bathed. Each landscape forms a lush tableau, too sumptuous for my rondeau -- a land of visionary dreams, beyond the scope of poet's themes, a world my words can never show. In light she's bathed. |

The rondeau is a 15 line poem in three stanzas, all written in iambic tetrameter. The rhyme scheme is aabba aabR aabbaR. The R, or refrain lines, are taken from the first words of the first line of the first stanza. So, in this rondeau, the opening phrase, "In light she's bathed," is repeated as a refrain at the end of the second and third stanzas.
