Rondeau
A Rondeau poem has fifteen lines in total. There are also two different rhymes that run throughout the poem. Also, the first line is repeated in part throughout the poem. The first two lines rhyme with each other (call it a, a), and the second two rhyme (b, b). The next lines are triple a, and then a b. So, this set also has the same rhyming to it aabba aabR aabbaR.
Poetry paints; words are its brush,
capturing the song of a thrush
with lines that embellish its tune,
praising the beauty of the moon;
while giving Mars its reddish blush.
A wordsmith can make sad tears gush
slowing life down, no need to rush,
whiling away the afternoon;
poetry paints.
When poetry paints, readers shush
boisterous crowds, biding them hush
and listen to the words commune
feelings that can make ladies swoon,
their alabaster cheeks aflush;
poetry paints.
