FLAKES FALL
As snow flakes fall
Reflecting moon-lit silvery glow
As snow flakes fall
In cold response to winters call
From night times skies descending slow
A covering of winter snow
As snow flakes fall.
The Rondelet is a French form consisting of a single septet
with two rhymes and one refrain: AbAabbA. The capital
letters are the refrains, or repeats. The refrain is written in
4 syllables (tetra-syllabic) or 4 syllables with two feet (dimeter)
and the other lines are twice as long – 8 syllables.
