Oh L’amour
A Lovey Rondelet

Je t’aime beaucoup Vous êtes plus que just mon ami Je t’aime beaucoup Le monde secret of me and you Making tout les jours très joli In partnership and harmonie Je t’aime beaucoup!
The other day Jenine Bsharah Baines shared an amazing inspiring poem here in rondelet form (read it please!)
Since I love playing with poetic forms, the more stringent the better (because the more stringent the more challenging), I was excited to learn about the rondelet and to try it. Yesterday, fueled by a powerful afternoon espresso, I started playing; this morning, I thought about how the website I looked it up on said it was a French form, so I reached into my brain and made the polyglot sappy ridiculous pre-Valentine’s Day nonsense you see above! Thank you Jenine Bsharah Baines for opening me up to this! Thank you readers, for indulging my silliness. Thank you, Paper Poetry editors, for everything you do!
French speakers — I apologize !
