Over The Rainbow ( Rondeau)

by Cindy   Jan 1, 2008


Over The Rainbow

The wind is blowing through the trees
Whispering come and follow me
Where only joy and love abound
Happy laughter the only sound
Take my hand and you will see

Colorful rainbows in the sky
Birds singing happily as they fly
A wonderland for you and I
The wind is blowing

Hand in hand traveling streets of gold
Forever your love I will hold
Turning our faces towards the sun
Once again we become one
Our future now has been fortold
The wind is blowing

Rondeau
A Rondeau is a French form, 15 lines long, consisting of three stanzas: a quintet, a quatrain, and a
sestet with a rhyme scheme as follows: aabba aabR aabbaR. Lines 9 and 15 are short - a
refrain (R) consisting of a phrase taken from line one. The other lines are longer (but all of the
same metrical length).

    Question you seem to know quite a bit, so if you dont mind me asking. Should a poem flow well and rhyme, or can you write a story that doesn't and call it a poem?

    your poems are beautiful 5/5
