Rond Poems | Examples


Insightful Praise of a Pretty Little Liar

Chiaroscuro ballerina,
Rond de jambe in chaînés
Jeté, jeté
Grand jeté

Mariana Victoria,
Your Seiren eyes speak in
Adamantine lies
Forbidden apple gates

Amina Afrikana,
Runes enjambed in chains
Adamantly denying
Grand opries

Bloomeria guro,
Your six-petaled cries sing
"Beaujolais, beaujolais!"
Forbidden pomegranates

Liefdes Wandel

Liefdes wandel
Dalene Deale

As jou wangetjies so mooi rooi is 
En jou glimlag verby jou ore gaan
Van die ‘n bewonderde liefde 
Of so bietjie te veel gesellige wyn
Wat alle inhibisie laat staan
Dan lyk jy so gelukkig 
En of geen aardse gebeurtenis 
jou om sal krap
Maar in stede jou laat uitsien
Na hand aan hand 
In die maanlig stap
Ag hoe wonderlik is die bottervliegies
Wat in jou maag rond vladder
Wat die huidige oomblik net meer uitlig
En jou gevoelens 
Meer as enige vlag laat wapper
Geniet elke oomblik liefling 
Laat die liefde jou al hoër dra
Want sulke volvullende oomblikke 
Is meer as wat enige menslike hart kan vra.

Iets Wat Jy Klaar Gesteel Het

Gee my jou hand
Iets om vas te hou
Gee my jou hart
Iets om lief te he

Gee my jou lippe
Iets om myne besig te hou 
Gee my jou wange
Iets om te maak bloos

Gee my jou voorkop
Iets om te soen
Gee my jou hare
Iets on my hande besig te hou

Gee my jou oë 
Iets om in te verdwaal 
Gee my jou alles
Want dis wat jy vir my is

Hier is my arms
Iets om om jou te vou
Hier is my skouer
Iets om op te lê 

Hier is my lewe
Iets om beter te maak
Hier is my liefde
Iets om meer te maak

Hier is my wêreld 
Iets om lig te gee
Hier is my ore
Iets wat sal luister 

Hier is my gedagtes 
Iets om in rond te hardloop
Hier is my hart
Iets wat jy klaar gesteel het

The Swan, and Someone Replaceable

(after Charles Baudelaire)

It’s not the same.  I noticed it today,
while dodging Rond-Point carriages.
I’m not the sort who mindlessly disparages
whatever’s new, but Haussman’s swept away

the Paris that I loved.  Thus thought the swan
who’d wandered somehow from the Tuileries
and limped, bewildered, frightened, ill-at-ease,
his web feet scraping as he struggled on,

he knew not where, uncertain why his wings
were rasping in dry dust, instead of water.
Nearby, a black girl on a cast-iron bench
(advanced TB: I’ve come to know these things)
sat huddled, shy, not knowing any French, 
quite lost.  And Africa has lost a daughter.

Rond Point

This is Rond Point,

A multitude of people with a flare of cultures,
An entropic junction with an atmosphere of trade in a fanfare of items,
Standing still in this magnificent human-like iron statue,
It has yet remained diverse in its people
But unique in style, fashion and name!

Rond Point Deido, the banks of the Wouri
