Floss
Dental or Candy? I know my favourite kind of floss. Rondelet
Rated:
E
by
Avg Rating: (4)



I like to floss,
but not with string, with candied web!
I like to floss--
that heaven spun confection's moss,
sweet sugar-coated fluffy head.
The dentist asked and so I said,
"I like to floss."



The Rondelet is a French form consisting of a single septet with two rhymes and one refrain written in iambic meter:
AbAabbA. The capital letters are the refrains, or repeats. The refrain is written in tetra-syllabic or dimeter and the other lines are twice as long - octasyllabic or tetrameter.


For help in meter, please see: http://www.associatedcontent.com/article/1774142/a_poets_arsenal_basic_poetic_me...
