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.
LMAO well anyone who knows me knows I shall always do it a Tory style as well so here was my pre-editted version (wich i loved more so) ah well
Upon the seashore she longed for more
little seashells that kissed the sands well.
Across the sea's floor, no color would bore,
and little pearls fell that would cast a spell.
Little precious beauties, rose up from the sea
casting sweet shadows on the sea's pillows.
Upon the seashore she longed for more
little seashells that kissed the sands well.
Off white in shade a precious gift was made.
A sweet passion born, around her neck worn,
a look forlorn reflects a heart that's torn.
Priceless trinket home-made, will never fade.
Upon the seashore's she longed for more
Torys rhyme scheme (LMAO) ABba cdAB effeA. The capital letters are the refrains, or repeats
