Pollution(Rondeau Prime)
The Rondeau Prime is a short variation of the Rondeau
originating in 13th century France.
It allows more rhyme than the Rondeau, but incorporates its core feature,
the integration of the rentrement.
(opening phrase of the first line which is repeated as a refrain.)
The elements of the Rondeau Prime are:
in French syllabic, most often 8 syllable lines with L7 and
L12 shorter, usually 4 syllable.
In English tends to be iambic meter, line length is optional
as long as the lines are relatively equal,
with the exception of the shorter rentrement.
12 lines, made up of a septet (7 lines)followed by a cinquain (5 lines) .
rhymed, rhyme scheme abbccbR abbaR, R being the rentrement
(the first phrase or line repeated as a refrain at the end of the stanzas.)
Pollution
These elements..thrive by what means?
Thoughtless of human's heedless treat
No way else than on given feast
Just right to say poisoned action
Infused, imbibed, spread pollution
Kindly watch out how men mistreat
These elements
Noisy smoke clouding up- who cleans?
From earth to sky in circling treat
Not the rains as hit by waste beast
Know how men mistreat by all means
These elements
