Day 97:

Oct 5-Rondeau, French-aabba, aabRefrain, aabbaRefrain, 8 syllalbles, 4 for Refrain.

What is it that you have to say?

Writing a Rondeau the right way.

Now here is what you have to do

To make this French form work with you.

Then you can make one any day.

Eight syllables each line to stay

But the Refrain has four to play

Three phrases will then work your thoughts

It”s a Rondeau!

Aabba starts the day

Aab and  Refrain next weigh

Aabba gives a clue

To show how phrases work for you.

It”s a Rondeau!
