cool kisses at dawn
hints of amber, cloves and cinnamon,
cool kisses at dawn
as days rush to dusk and nights amble long,
scamperers gather, cicadas drone on,
earth’s final fruits clinging low, reaper comes,
cool kisses at dawn

(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.

That’s a new term for me…poetic innovation. I may have to think on that one a bit. 😉

Kat, I’m just trying to keep it real’ as the kids say. 🙂 Goodness, I’m only 36 and sometimes feel like an aged artist who wishes only to share with others and encourage others too, to their own best abilities. 😉 Keep on writing, creating is anything more that I can say. 😉
