Larry Bradfield Poet Rondeau

Best Rondeau


"Come dance with me" said with a smile
He blushed and rose and all the while
He couldn't help but see the eyes
That promised love without the lies
And seemed incapable of guile

He led her 'round the floor with style
And seemed to dance a magic mile
Then dreamed of a future with ties
"Come dance with me"

Her perfume came from tropic isle
And caused his lazy blood to rile
His brain built him a new disguise
And made him big and strong and wise
He put her then atop the pile -
"Come dance with me"

Kurt Philip Behm July 12, 2016 at 10:34 PM I love the lines "His brain built him a new disguise And made him big and strong and wise" The older I get, the more married I become to meter and rhyme. You really do it well! Larry Bradfield July 13, 2016 at 9:29 AM Thank you, Kurt! My usual genre is Cowboy Poetry and classically it's written wih consistent meter (the rhythm of the trail) and true rhyme. I think you'd like it if you aren't familiar with it. Just browse on Cowboy Poetry and you'll find a lot of it..thanks again. Larry
