Rondeau is originally a French form. The only explanation I can think of is that for the author of that book, being from across the Channel was enough to qualify the form as being exotica, i.e. different from the traditional English forms.CharleyH said:Lazily reading about trochaic stuff, elgiac quatrains and the like for Fool's challenge and I come across chapter seven titled: Traditional English Verse: other forms ... including "EXOTICA"
I skip to the page and find a rondeau. Why is rondeau under the title exotica in my poetry book? Is it inherantly a form of exotica, or is there another poetic form called Exotica, and if so, does anyone know what it is?
EDIT TO ADD: This book tells me nothing about it - just leaves me with rondeau and a ballade by Dante Gabriel Rossetti called the 'Ballade of Dead Ladies'.

Did you ever write a Bob? Or a Hynde Hypersonnet?

PS: I did a Bob :| And where is Dear Angeline when I need her most?
What about foolio's villesonnet?.. I liked that one.Angeline said:Oh, the only form I ever invented here was boob-ku. You might want to ask someone else lol.
Lauren invented the hypersonnet, Icing Sugar, the Bob. Lauren wasn't there Ho-ku?
Yeah, I'm sure there's plenty of that around these parts.Angeline said:Lauren wasn't there Ho-ku?
Angeline said:I just got home from work. I had to teach math. My head hurts.
What was the question again?
Oh, well Lauren--the beotch--took my answer. I was gonna tell you to go write a Bob.
But you can invent a new form. Anyone can, right?
Have you written any ghazals or pantoums yet?
