The rondel supreme is a French poetic form with the following guidelines: 14-line poem broken into three stanzas. First two stanzas have four lines and final stanza has six lines.
Rhyme scheme: ABba/abAB/abbaAB (capital letters are refrains). No restrictions on syllables or subjects. Writer’s Digest, Robert Lee Brewer
My attempt at a rondel supreme:
Allergies, oh me!
Yes me, I have allergies!
Who can be allergic to cats?
Or how can it be beef or trees?
I am gluten sensitive, and to wool hats!
~
Why couldn’t it be sugar calories?
I can understand bats!
Yes me, I have allergies!
Who can be allergic to cats?
~
I don’t like apologies.
I would be okay with an allergy to rats!
Could I be allergic to bees or fats?
I know I have lethargies.
Yes me, I have allergies!
Who can be allergic to cats?

The viator is a poetic form invented by Robin Skelton, author of The Shapes of Our Singing. The rules are fairly simple: The first line is a refrain: The refrain appears as the second line of the second stanza, third line of the third stanza, and so on for however many stanzas the poem has… with the final line of the final stanza being the refrain. That’s it! Writer’s Digest, Robert Lee Brewer
