confused is me
flimsy versions leave me aghast
confused is me
my person thrives to be carefree
yet my being has been declassed
my soul disengaged from my past
confused is me
Reena’s Xploration Challenge #241
A single line prompt for this week –
The only ghost that scares is a past version of you.
The Rondelet (or roundelay) is a brief French form of poetry. It consists of one stanza, made up of seven lines. It contains a refrain, a strict rhyme scheme, and a distinct meter pattern.
The word is the diminutive of rondel, a similar, longer verse form. This is the basic structure:
Line 1 :: A—four syllables
Line 2 :: b—eight syllables
Line 3 :: A—repeat of line one
Line 4 :: a—eight syllables
Line 5 :: b—eight syllables
Line 6 :: b—eight syllables
Line 7 :: A—repeat of line one
The refrained lines should contain the same words, however, substitution or different use of punctuation on the lines has been common.
