Rondel Pain (For the Rondel Contest Sponsored By: Jared Pickett)

Rondel Pain Poetry can inflict pain like a sharp rondel dagger, Encircling each word with bigoted judgments on hand. Down a spiral staircase a poet’s thoughts may stagger. Semi-circular fashioned, ideas traverse memories’ span. Hysterical, political…subject does not matter. Orderliness and cleverness mete out the author’s plan. Poetry can inflict pain like a sharp rondel dagger, Encircling each word with bigoted judgments on hand. Banter securely bound, released by creative augur. Can choose many words found in vocabulary land. Lexis gone thrilling can kill the heart of an iceman – Stop, please! Choose kindly words; become a pain free enabler. Poetry can inflict pain like a sharp rondel dagger. © Dane Ann Smith-Johnsen June 2, 2010 Poetic form: Rondel (Rondel Rhyming Pattern: ABab, abAB, aabbA) Thanks Jared for making us think!
