Rondeau Redouble

Rondeau redouble, does give me trouble Amongst poetry forms, I am writing On the surface, the rules appear simple But to get the rhythm, has brain churning The first quatrain, needs to be eye catching Else, when repeated, poet will stumble Must fit in too, for critics discerning Rondeau redouble, does give me trouble First line refrain, is the last line bugle Thus, oft the poem title highlighting The syllable count too, makes me fumble Amongst poetry forms, I am writing Rondeau redouble, my brain cells killing A format, I admit, inimical Reason for my hair, rapidly balding On the surface, the rules appear simple I know that the task is not clerical Fear of word repetition is haunting Though rhyming word resource is quite ample But to get the rhythm, has brain churning All this apart, I find it addicting For the words come, as divine miracle As right and left brain keeps oscillating Signalling that mind body is feeble Rondeau redouble 04-February-2021
