In a Roundabout Way

I offer you the Roundabout: a little form sublime. Tough? Au contraire! But do beware: you must be in your prime. Don’t simply trust to whether I’m correct; just take the dare. It helps to score some pithy fours that add a certain flair. Abandon care; let down your hair. Ideas waltz the floor: A fine brook trout, beer brats and kraut, Or silly, countless more. And so, dear poet, I implore: creative juices out! For fun with rhyme, it’s party time: the Roundabout, no doubt! ————— My second Roundabout: 86446, abccb/bcddc/cdaad/dabba https://www.writersdigest.com/write-better-poetry/new-poetic-form-the-roundabout you have to have a heck of a drawl to pronounce contraire as three syllables, IMHO... Sticking with the original - PoetrySoup counts as 2, RhymeZone counts as 3, but I'm going with 2, as that's how I hear it in my head.
