jaydeeLately poems with repetition and refrains have been intriguing me. From Triolets I've moved onto writing Roundels:
Oh, life is good and things are going fine
there isn't much that I'd change if I could.
Perhaps an aspect or two I'd refine
but life is good.
There was a while I misunderstood,
so focused on the negative I'd pine
away quite unaware of where I stood.
The greatest things in life - that's women, wine
and song - are near enough to mine, and should
I seek, so too is company divine.
Oh, life is good!
Oh, life is good and things are going fine
there isn't much that I'd change if I could.
