Rondeau Redouble - It's Good To Know

It's good to know this poem I can write.
A Rondeau Redouble I vowed to do.
With trying out this form, I’ll show no fright.
Let’s see how well with this form I get through.

The trick here is to use rhymes that are glue
so that the thoughts from line to line unite.
I need words for which rhymes are not too few.
It's good to know this poem I can write.

My muse is happy, for she’s now in flight.
I’m confident because with stanza two
I’ve finished! Midway point is now in sight.
A Rondeau Redouble I vowed to do.

Here comes another B rhyme right on cue
to start my stanza four, but I’m not quite
yet ended with this Rondeau style’s debut.
With trying out this form I’ll show no fright.

Trick two: End rhymes of each verse must invite
cohesion as this challenge I pursue.
I hope so far I’m doing it just right!
Let’s see how well with this form I get through.

I was not careful and had to redo
one stanza, but I’m ending now despite
my tiny apprehension with this new
form, which i can say now is a delight!
                                            It's good to know!

You had a lot more fun with this contest than I did; I found it a horrible challenge. I kept having to go back and study the example. This appears effortlessly penned, my friend.

Your last night really had me laughing Andrea. I would like to try this form but it really seems difficult. I am preparing my house for guests which is taking up too much of my time away from Poetry. I loved your take on the contest Andrea. You always come up with something great! Blessings xxoo

I like your theme. Cleverly done, Andrea. Not easy to find the two rhymes that this form requires.

yeah this is just having fun with rhymes. It is a pretty hard form and my mind just went to this kind of idea.
