Today's selection is a rondeau. A very structured pattern of both meter and rhyme, but not terrible to compose. Within the link, there is a copy of a very famous poem of this style. This one of mine highlights some of what I came back to work to after a small weekend away from work.
The Apathy and The Ecstasy
The cars don't work in my small town
And all the cops all wear a frown
More work is piled upon my desk
A mountain that is most grotesque
Not unlike an opera clown
But with the working ups and down
My love of work does still abound
Though apathy here is statuesque
We still fight the fight
In all our travels up and down
The streets and alleys of our town
Crime still goes on without protest
In a barely contained burlesque
And we are there to chase it down
We still fight the fight
