Take My Hand (Rondelet)

Take my hand

Your heart is my home

Take my hand

The company you give roams my soul

Sparkling like the twinkling stars above

Save me like the angel you are, my love

Take my hand

The Rondelet is French in origin, a short poem of a single septet (that is, 7 lines long), with only two rhymes, and one refrain, which is repeated.

The pattern is AbAabbA, in which A is the refrain, A rhymes with a, b with b. This means you'll use your same refrain 3 times, and only have to rhyme twice. You can do that!

Don't forget to try it out!! I'd love to see what poems you create! :)
