A Rondine
A chapter in the book Little Poems
Frog In a Jar
by Treischel
|
Recognized |
My grandson, Jeremy, attended an exhibit where there were a number of frogs on display. He took this picture. This is a tree Frog. His image inspired this poem, as I saw and imagined it clinging to the glass, looking out, and pining is home.
This poem is a Rondine
This is another very neglected and a very challenging poetry form. It consists of two stanzas, a septet (7 lines), and a quintet (5 lines), making the poem a total of 12 lines. There is a refrain which mimics the first phrase of the first line (R).
The Rondine has a rhyme scheme of:
abbaabR abbaR.
The meter is open with the French style and not bound by a rhyming pattern and is a more light and buoyant even "flashy" form of poetry which uses short lines, whereas the English is more formal and uses Tetrameter or Pentameter.
This photograph was taken by my Grandson with my camera and my permission. I thank him for its use here.
