Friday Fling #137 July 15th 2011<\/strong><\/font><\/p>\n

This month on the Fling we are surveying some of the reasons why we love the summer. This week it’s: summer concerts! National ones, local ones, big ones, small ones. What are your favorites or what are your favorite or most prominent memories from summer concerts past?<\/strong><\/font><\/p>\n

This week we also thought a challenging but still relatively compact format you may never have tried might work for this topic! Two weeks ago Michelle wrote a Rondel. According to ShadowPoetry.com, <\/strong><\/font><\/p>\n

Rondel<\/span><\/strong><\/font><\/p>\n

A French form consisting of 13 lines: two quatrains and a quintet, rhyming as follows:
\nABba abAB abbaA. The capital letters are the refrains, or repeats.<\/font><\/p>\n

A Rondel for Margarita <\/font><\/p>\n

On the carousel, on a summer’s day,
\nAs the rest of the fairground goes gliding by,
\nWe coast together, now low, now high,
\nBut how quickly the moment slips away.<\/font><\/p>\n

She laughs at the music, elfin and fey,
\nShe laughs for joy at the sapphire sky,
\nOn the carousel, on a summer’s day,
\nAs the rest of the fairground goes gliding by.<\/font><\/p>\n

How sweet her delight in simple play,
\nSomeday, without me, she’ll take to the sky,
\nBrave little fledgling, ready to fly.
\nWe must hold these moments while we may
\nOn the carousel, on a summer’s day.<\/font><\/p>\n

To recap, The first two lines repeat as the last two lines of the second stanza, and the first line repeats again as the last line of the poem. The rhymescheme looks a bit complex but the second stanza goes abAB using the same two rhymes as in the first stanza, which had the rhymes ABba, and then the third stanza comes up with four new rhymes in abba like the first before the poem’s opening line is used as the closer. So the most difficult part of this format is likely to be picking your rhymers with some care so you can rhyme each of them four times.<\/strong><\/font><\/p>\n

This week the Friday Fling writes Rondels about summer concerts!<\/strong><\/font><\/p>\n

Be sure to save time to read and comment lyrically about your fellow Pals’ summer concert memories. Then go enjoy a summer concert or something else you enjoy doing in summer!<\/strong><\/font><\/p>\n

Fickle Finger of Fate Award for July 8th 2011<\/strong><\/font><\/p>\n

Congratulations rustierone!<\/strong><\/font><\/p>\n
