A rondelet is a short poetic form consisting of a specific structure of lines and a repeated refrain. It typically consists of seven lines, with a rhyme scheme of a-b-a-a-b-a-a. The first line is repeated as the last line, and the second line is also repeated as the fourth line. This creates a circular feeling and reinforces the poem's themes. The rondelet is derived from the French word "rondeau," which refers to a type of verse that features a refrain.
