Rime Royal - When Pondering

This is a stanza form that is believed to be of Italian origin. It is thought to be a variation of the Otta Rima with the removal of the final line, leaving the structure to be a seven line stanza of three rhymes: a.b.a.b.b.c.c.

“When Pondering”

When you are wandering
Past the known world
And you find yourself pondering
With thoughts whirled
And begin to feel your mind unfurled
Do not feel bemoan
For you are not alone
