A Rondelet

It's Cold Outside

by June Sargent


It's Cold Outside

Sipping chocolate by the fire

It's Cold Outside

Weathering snow storms in our stride

Whispering words our love inspires

Savoring warmth of our desire

It's Cold Outside



Rondelet writing prompt entry
Writing Prompt
Write a 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.

Example:

Happy Am I!

Happy am I!
For I have found a friend in you.
Happy am I!
The sun is shining in my sky.
I know that you will see me through,
No more will I be feeling blue.
Happy am I!
