[A. E. Stallings]

Okay--I'm getting jealous--all these sharp and witty rondeaux you people are tossing off, making it look easy--actual poems, even! I have to admit, I share nyctom's aversion to the French forms--they mostly seem too fiddly to do much in English. But then there is always Hardy, making real poetry out of cloth as flimsy as a triolet.

Part of the key seems to be getting the right two rimes.

Back to the drawing board...
