A Rondelet poem for Day 4, Rhythm & Rhyme summer contest
Form: Rondelet

This poem is a French form consisting of a single septet (seven lines) with two rhymes and one refrain written in iambic meter: AbAabbA. The capital letters are the refrains, or repeats. The refrain is written in tetra-syllabic (four syllables) and the other lines are twice as long--octasyllabic or tetrameter (eight syllables).

Mouths open wide,
Clowns and concessions--the Midway.
Mouths open wide,
Impatiently, our time we bide.
For candy of air our tongues play,
Flavor that melts and lasts all day.
Mouths open wide.
