Take Life In Stride

Take life in stride

Peaks and valleys as I ventured

Take life in stride

When slipping down, seek the upside

Sell your soul; you’ll be indentured

But heartfelt words can’t be censured

Take life in stride

Andrea Dietrich Date: 7/22/2011 7:23:00 AM Oh, so rondelet is not given as a form to use. I was wondering why you said Rondeau in the corner here. this is very much like rondeau in a few ways, so I will definitely have to check out how to do rondelet. This is very nice, Carolyn. I bet it does well!! Login to Reply

Francine Roberts Date: 7/21/2011 10:20:00 PM Carolyn , the rondelet is supposed to be 7 lines you have 8, AbAabba rhyme, so your 4th or 5th needs to go, then it is correct , sorry to be the bearer of bad news Login to Reply
