Rondel Poetry writing prompt entry
Writing Prompt Rondel A French form consisting of 13 lines: two quatrains and a quintet, rhyming as follows: ABba abAB abbaA. The capital letters are the refrains, or repeats. Example: A Rondel for Margarita On the carousel, on a summer's day, As the rest of the fairground goes gliding by, We coast together, now low, now high, But how quickly the moment slips away. She laughs at the music, elfin and fey, She laughs for joy at the sapphire sky, On the carousel, on a summer's day, As the rest of the fairground goes gliding by. How sweet her delight in simple play, Someday, without me, she'll take to the sky, Brave little fledgling, ready to fly. We must hold these moments while we may On the carousel, on a summer's day.

***Author Notes:
The word RENDEZVOUS here is read in the plural. That is, the ending is a harder, drawn-out 's' that sounds more like a 'z'. Both the singular and the plural form of the word are spelled exactly the same...it is only the pronunciation at the end that differs.
