The Rondelet is a brief French form of poetry. It consists of one stanza, made up of seven lines. It contains a refrain, a strict rhyme scheme and a distinct meter pattern.
The word is from the diminutive of rondel, meaning round. This is the basic structure:
Line 1 :: A -- four syllables Line 2 :: b -- eight syllables Line 3 :: A -- repeat of line one Line 4 :: a -- eight syllables Line 5 :: b -- eight syllables Line 6 :: b -- eight syllables Line 7 :: A -- repeat of line one
The refrained lines should contain the same words, however - substitution or different use of punctuation on the lines has been common.
Rondelet's expenses exceeded ticket sales again this year, but the organizers did not have to use emergency funds for the first time in years, thanks to $5,000 in funds left over from last year.
Rondelet, held on March 25 at the Westin Oaks Galleria Hotel, cost an estimated $13,000 and made less than that amount from ticket sales.
This year, for the first time, Rondelet was appropriated a $5,000 budget from RPC general funds left over from the 1993-1994 school year.
