A Rondeau Redouble Poem
A chapter in the book Commentary and Philosophy
A New Day
by Treischel
A New Day
Warmth on my shoulder from the sun Vanquishing shadows of the night With that, a new day has begun Promising new hours glowing bright Will yesterday's faults be made right, Or will they still remain undone? Chance will turn on redemption's plight, Warmth on my shoulder from the sun. Hope lays within a new day won, That grows a healthy appetite. For there's another race to run, Vanquishing shadows of the night. Once more victory seems in sight, I stand the mark at starting gun. Striving once more with all my might, With that, a new day has begun. For, as the Earth's surface is spun, Rotation has turned dark to light, Rising up a glowing beacon Promising new hours shining bright Feel the glow new chances invite. Awaken! The sun has risen! To bless you from morning's new height, Warmth on my shoulder from the sun |

As the sun rises each new day and shines on our shoulders, we have another chance.
This poem is a Rondeau Redouble.
The Rondeau Redouble is not, as its name suggests, a double rondeau. With a strict rhyming pattern it consists of six stanzas (quatrains) and a final refrain, all on two rhymes. Each line of the first stanza becomes, in turn, the last line of the four succeeding stanzas. The sixth stanza is all new though followed by the first phrase of the first line.
Thanks to Gungalo for the inspiration.
