Rondeau
Redoublé (Redoubled Rondeau):
6
quatrains, rhyming abab baba alternately. Quatrains 2-5 end with the first,
second, third and fourth lines of quatrain 1, respectively. The poem ends with
a tail from the first part of the first line of the poem.
Example Poem
They Can't Be Sure
They can't be sure
but in their hearts he's there.
Those theists who
assure us God's on hand
could be mistaken or
correct I swear.
The atheists assert
God is nowhere.
Descartes had
"proof" that I could understand.
Thereafter certainty
becomes quite spare.
Some Gods have
bloomed in almost every land.
They can't be sure
but in their heart he's there.
The Holy books I've
read feature despair
and silliness in
parts, and they demand
a subjugation not
just to God. Spare
Those theists who
assure us God's on hand.
That tragedy,
disease, and blight withstand
all calls to all the
Gods, makes me aware
that Godly
intervention though not banned,
could be mistaken...
or correct I swear.
If God set
everything in motion, bear
in mind: that
answers question one. Who planned
all this? without a
need for priests to scare.
The atheists assert
God is nowhere.
My God's irrelevant
to my repair.
What will of me
become, if the demand
for mantra is not
met, jars not this player.
Unless their God,
fills one's heart, resides there
They can't be sure.
