A Perfect Day

A Rondelet poem (week 26) about an unexpectedly great day.

A Rondelet poem written for Week 26 of Poetic Explorations.

A perfect day.
I planned for naught, yet all went right.
A perfect day.
I asked my wife to come away.
We walked and laughed, our hearts made light.
From waking up till late at night
A perfect day.

Author's Notes:
The Rondelet is a French form consisting of seven lines with two rhymes and one refrain: AbAabbA.

The capital letters are the refrains, or repeats. The refrain is written in four syllables; the remaining lines contain eight syllables.
