SING ME A SONG (Rondeau)

let me feel the love

Sing me a song that gives sunshine to my day

Show me the door that would lead to safest way

Give me the chance to spread the light above

Help me to see the things that I should love--

       Make me believe so that I’ll choose to stay.

 

Teach me to dance and let my body sway

Tell me the words I once forgot to say

Lead me to see your world that I dreamed of

      Sing me a song…

 

Assure to me that this is not a play

Show the signs that forever you will stay

Confirm to me,  nothing’s to get rid of

Help me to feel your love is white as dove

Just you and I, forever and a day

       Sing me a song…

Author's Note

Rondeau
A Rondeau is a French form, 15 lines long, consisting of three stanzas: a quintet, a quatrain, and a sestet with a rhyme scheme as follows: aabba aabR aabbaR. Lines 9 and 15 are short - a refrain (R) consisting of a phrase taken from line one. The other lines are longer (but all of the same metrical length).

It seems that I was inspired by one of your poems to once again write a poem for my site. Your last verse should have six lines. It should be easy for you to add that last line. My new poem is a Rondeau called "Island Paradise". I used part of your refrain in my poem.

LOL. Thanks, the "a" line is missing. Thanks for that reminder, Ae.

You're welcome! Your poem showed me how to do my very first Rondeau.

Oh, good! That added line in your last verse did the trick.

What happened to my comment above? I was saying there 'This is my 2nd Rondeau. My first is "Love Me Again". LOL.

Your message got through this time. Sometimes messages vanish for no reason at all on here. It happens to me quite often.

Inspired me to write "waiting for the sun," hope it pleases you. Great job
