Below is a re-write of poem that I penned in 2023, which reflects on how slipperiness of life and the things that we trust, as well as survival.   It has been written in the form of a rondeau redoublé, where the four lines of Stanza 1 are repeated at the end of Stanzas 2-5.  The poem then concludes with the first part of Line 1 (Like a mountain goat);  a repeated phrase that structures the entire poem.  Each stanza rhymes with an alternating A-B-A-B/B-A-B-A pattern until the end; each line has 7 beats that alternate between trochees and iambs.  Enjoy!  Nahum.
