Rondelet: Open Your Eyes

Open your eyes.

The world will consume you,

Open your eyes.

Stop believing all the lies.

There are so many things to do.

The world, waiting for your breakthrough.

Open your eyes.

As I have mentioned previously I ad no idea what I was getting myself into when I started on this journey to learn poetry. I knew the words had to rhyme but I was un aware of how many types of poems there were. Nor was I aware of the sophisticated rhyming schemes. But I has had written when I began I would continue to hone my skills and write poetry.

Though I must confess that I am getting a bit boggled down in the confines of learning poetry. And it is a bit stifling to the inspiration. I will love it when I have completed my study of poetry and can return to just writing poems. But it is good to learn so much about poetry.

This is a Rondelet Poem. I was unable to find the originals of this type of poetry beyond that it is 15 th century France.

I have included the link so you could read about it from wikipedia. Again I do not feel comfortable enough with the subject matter to present it to you myself. For some reason I do believe the word Rondelet means small circle which is clear form the structure of the actual poem.

It is the same as it has always been on HP. I try to inform, entertain and to amuse. Some of these poems are meant to be light hearted. I don’t believe nor would I want to read poems with lot of gravity. Sometimes poems can be amusing and entertaining as well. I am certain I will write both emotional poems and light hearted ones. But right now as I write I am specifically attempting to get the structure down.

I never considered myself a poet. And I am still only a novice at attempting poetry. It is rather frightening for me to try something new and I feel quite out of my element. But I trust you my audience to have patience with me as I take these baby steps into the unknown and attempt to learn poetry.

As always my audience is my inspiration and I profoundly appreciate your input and readership.
