1328

Write a roundel just to prove your worth,

Given it's been seven days since last

You scribbled anything that looks like verse.

Write a roundel.

There; you've made a start, the dye is cast,

And words are trickling out as if the birth

Of any poem were as slick and fast

As calling for a burger or bratwurst

To ease your appetite, knowing it won't last

Beyond the eating - but that's the poets curse.

Write a roundel?
