Rondelet – Cityscape
As I walked out,
grey mixed, matched, met me on that street.
As I walked out
in the flashes glass cast about,
its squares of pane and shield replete
with blocked black–oh, grey felt fresh, sweet
as I walked out.
*********************************
The above is a draft sort-of rondelet written for Tony Maude’s prompt on dVerse Poets Pub – it is a 7 line form with a repeated refrain. AbAabbA. The refrain line is important, obviously. I took mine from W.H. Auden (As I Walked Out One Evening), though approached it a bit differently. (This, by the way, is my 1600th post. I am not sure whether to be embarrassed or proud – or simply tired!) Thanks to all who’ve given me the encouragement and support to continue. k.
