	Poetry
		Poetry, the art of creating poems, also known as verse, may be defined in opposition to prose, which is language which is meant to convey meaning, with lesser emphasis on mood, word choice, and exact form of expression.
		Poetry is as old as human speech and is a compressed form of speech (and song) in an imaginative manner that at its best evokes and releases human emotions and intuition.
		Also, the vocabulary of poetry tends to be larger and more obscure than that of prose, because poets are apt to take greater liberties with the language and to retain old words and invent new words in order to express themselves within the structure of their poetry.

	Rondeau - LoveToKnow 1911 (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-10)
		In poetry the rondeau is a short metrical structure which in its perfect form consists of thirteen eightor ten-syllabled verses divided into three strophes of unequal length, and knit together by two rhymes and a refrain.
		In Clement Marot's time the laws of the rondeau were laid down, and, according to Voiture, in the 17th century, the following was the type of the approved form of the rondeau: "Ma foy, c'est fait de moy, car Isabeau M'a conjure de luy faire un Rondeau: Cela me met en une peine extreme.
		The rondeau is, however, an inimitable instrument of gaiety and grace in the hands of a skilful poet.

	Poetry - Gurupedia
		Poetry can be differentiated most of the time from prose, which is language meant to convey meaning in a more expansive and less condensed way, frequently using more complete logical or narrative structures than poetry does.
		A further complication is that prose poetry combines the characteristics of poetry with the superficial appearance of prose.
		In pre-literate societies, poetry was frequently employed as a means of recording oral history, storytelling (epic poetry), genealogy, law and other forms of expression or knowledge that modern societies might expect to be handled in prose.

	Rondeau Family
		Rondeau was originally the French generic term for all fixed verse patterns that derived from dance-rounds, in which music was accompanied by call-and-response singing; a leader usually sang a verse and everyone joined in on the refrain.
		Through the years, poets were seldom as reverent of "established" patterns as we conservatives are today; they felt free to vary, adapt and recreate.
		The oldest of the Rondeau Family originated in 13th century France.

	Virelai
		A virelai is a form of medieval French verse used often in poetry and music.
		It is one of the three formes fixes (the others were the ballade and the rondeau), and was one of the most common verse forms set to music in Europe from the late 13th to the 15th centuries.
		By the mid-15th century, the form had become largely divorced from music, and numerous examples of this form (as well as the ballade and the rondeau) were written, which were either not intended to be set to music, or for which the music has not survived.

		The rondeau began as a lyric form in thirteenth-century France, popular among medieval court poets and musicians.
		The rondeau’s form is not difficult to recognize: as it is known and practiced today, it is composed of fifteen lines, eight to ten syllables each, divided stanzaically into a quintet, a quatrain, and a sestet.
		Modern rondeaus are often playful; for example, "Rondel" by Frank O’Hara begins with this mysterious directive: "Door of America, mention my fear to the cigars," which becomes the poem’s refrain.

		Rondeau wrote passionately (this was his life) about how small cabins once occupied the heights that he called home, but how -- in his lifetime-- they became only "a few cellar holes and tumbled stone walls, remains among the dense stands of maple, beech, and hemlocks on the mountains of the north."

		The scheme for the Rondeau is as follows: the first stanza should rhyme aabba, the second aabR: the R being the refrain selected from the first line.
		I find it a real aid when writing formal poetry and use them not only for the Rondeau but also for Sonnets, Villanelles, etc. As you can see the syllable count is shown by dashes and the rhyme by a letter at the end of each line.
		One of the problems with this type of poetry is that the refrain may take over, with the result that it appears to be tagged-on just for the sake of it: the real skill in producing good repetition is in blending the refrain lines with the body of the poem.
