Here is a poem that I recently wrote in the form of a French rondeau; it’s simple and self-explanatory.

I Am His & He Is Mine (Poem)
Today I wrote a poem that’s based on 2:16 of The Song of Solomon, “I am my Beloved’s and He is mine”. It reflects upon being painfully rejected by my family of origin, but taken in by Jesus. Upon writing it, I couldn’t stop weeping. It is written in the form of a cinquain chain, where the last line of each stanza forms the first line of the succeeding stanza. The first line of the poem is also its last. The rhyming pattern with each stanza is ABBCC. May it bless you, Nahum.
Give Me Strength to Kill (Poem)
Here is a poem that I wrote asking Jesus to help me kill my sin. It is written in the form of a cinquain chain, where the last line of each stanza forms the first line of the succeeding stanza. The first line of the poem is also its last. The rhyming pattern with each stanza is ABBCC. May it bless you, Nahum.
