A Catena Rondo Challenge

Introduction

This was suggested by Calvin London. This will run til the last day of November, and five random dollar tips will be awarded to five random Catena Rondo poems that are posted in the comments with a link to this piece in your poem.

The challenge is simply to write a Catena Rondo

This is the form:

Here's how to write a catena rondo:

• The poem is comprised of a variable number of quatrains
• Each quatrain has a rhyme pattern of AbbA
• The first line of each quatrain is also the final line of the quatrain
• The second line of each quatrain is the first line of the next quatrain
• The final quatrain should repeat the first quatrain word for word

Some examples:

The music is "Blue Rondo à la Turk" by Dave Brubeck, a favourite of mine with the "Rondo" connection.

This is now closed. These are the four entries that we got for the dollar tip.
