Poetry Day: Envy Rondelet

Posted on July 24, 2025 by Charles Yallowitz

(A rondelet is a 7-line poem where the first line is repeated on line 3 and 7.  The refrain lines are usually 4 syllables and the other 4 lines are 8.  These were tough, so I hope I got them right.)

Are you Envy?

Do you get jealous all the time?

Are you Envy?

You want what everyone holds dear.

The wins of others cause you pain.

Even if you were not involved.

Are you Envy?

    Well done on the rondelet!

    I admit to envy sometimes when someone on social media announces their huge book contract.
