Welcome to the Saturday Mix – Lucky Dip,18 April 2020!
For this week’s Lucky Dip, I have reached into my mystery bag and pulled out a Roundabout.The topic is up to you!
You may be thinking to yourself, What on earth is a Roundabout?
Luckily, Writer’s Digest has an explanation…
Roundabout Poems
Invented by Sara Diane Doyle and David Edwards, who incoporated every poetic element that they really liked.David came up with the meter and feet and Sara added in the repeating line. The rhyme scheme and length was decided on together.The result is a form called the Roundabout. In this form, the rhyme scheme comes full circle while offering repetition of one line in each rhyme set.
The Roundabout is a four stanza poem, with each stanza consisting of 5 lines.The poem is written in iambic and the lines have 4 feet, 3 feet, 2 feet, 2 feet…

Great prompt. I tried to approach this one with simplicity and hope, drawing from the many existing texts on *Fruhlingsglaube.*
Fruhlingsglaube Nouveau
Black streaked snow, and slate gray sky
Before there was the sun
Frostbit fingers
And dread that lingers
Before there was the sun
Then–suddenly! Green, and pink, and gold!
There was a sun again!
A breeze’s caress
A billowing dress
There was a sun again!
There still will be days muddy brown gloom,
But You won’t fear the rain
You’ll stand through the showers
(Quite needed, for flowers)
But you won’t fear the rain
Another will be there, through grass, earth, and light
To see the beauty that Is
And you’ll see it, too
Eyes gaze up, as hers do
To see the beauty that Is
Keep up the interesting work!
