Complexity
creates tasks harder to complete.
Complexity
has always been my tendency.
It fills, consumes - my life replete
with its stress, and no way to cheat
complexity.

A rondelet written for dVerse Poets ~ Form For All ~ The Rondelet
Tony is hosting in the Pub tonight, and has thrown this French form poem of seven lines our way. Lines 1,3, and 7 are the refrain of four syllables. The other four lines each have eight syllables. The rhyme scheme is AbAabbA.
no way to cheat, that's for sure...great job with the prompt
ReplyDeleteHey Andrea. Hah. Cheating increases the complexity. Thanks so much.
Deletehaha....if you cheat it usually comes back on you...especially in the complex...nice one word repetition too...i dont mind a bit of the complex either...smiles.
ReplyDeleteThanks, Brian.
DeleteIt is very stressful indeed ~ You made this form look so easy ~
ReplyDeleteHave a good week ~
Thanks, Grace. Take care.
DeleteI do think some of us find complexity in even the simple. Ha. I think probably we were born that way. Well penned. I identify.
ReplyDeleteVery true, Mary. The complexity might only be in our minds, eh?
DeleteThis is so true, and so well stated within the constraints of the form. Kudos.
ReplyDeleteThanks, Mary.
DeleteYes, I certainly tend that way too!
ReplyDeleteThanks, Rowan. Probably more than a few of us do.
DeleteNicely written, Eusebia - and sooooooo true. Complexity is a powerful tool in the hands of those who have something to hide too ....
ReplyDeleteNow that's an interesting angle. Thanks, Tony.
DeleteYour poetry always takes me somewhere unexpected. I like that!
ReplyDeleteWell, thank you, Rosemary. Glad to oblige.
DeleteReally love what you do here..
ReplyDeleteAnd yes there is so much truth here...
You should really have a simplicity one to complete a pair
Hah, yes that would be a good idea, Bjorn. Thanks.
Deletethis made me smile...we had as a company motto...mastering diversity and reducing complexity... ok for a company, eh...for life i think complexity is a good thing...
ReplyDeleteIf life is complex it means we're still in the game. Thanks, Claudia.
DeleteThis was simply wonderful.
ReplyDeleteThank you, Vanessa.
Deletecomplexity adds more fun & legality of pride... smiles... enjoyed this...
