I truly love this form. You've written a really lovely poem of faith and inspiration. You seem to be able to write just about any kind of poetry well, Debi. I'm in awe of that!

Hi Bev,
You are so kind. I am experimenting with forms so I am trying just about one of anything. Who knew there were so many?

This is a coincidence as I have a rondelet to post today lol! I went to Shadow Poetry and went through the list of traditional poetry forms looking for something new to try. Too funny that we would both try the same form on the same day :)

Nice theme for a Sunday post. Nice iambic meter. Nice rhymes.

I find this form to be similar to the octagram. I had to pay close attention not to slip into the octogram format.

Hi Joy,

First rodeos, now rondelets. They say great minds think alike. I haven't tried an octogram so I may have to go ther next. I do love Shadow Poetry. It is a great resource.

Thank you for the encouraging comments about the theme, rhymes and meter. I appreciate it.

I'm on my way to check out your rondelet.

His name makes you want to do all these things and a whole lot more just to spread His love around to everyone you meet. "Cast your vote for Jesus. Keep your eyes on Calvary" and everything else just takes care of itself as you well written poem so crystal clearly depicts. Well done.

Debi;
-A very sweet, emblematic and annotated commentary and message that soothes the reader's taste in hopefulness and faith.
-Very good rhyming rage of the rhyming words were contingent to the meaning and concept of each line.
-Good rhythm with a cadence, timing and tempo whirl helpful in making the reading clear, fluid and easy.
-Excellent use of enjambment which is the running on of a thought and concepts in one stanza and line to the next without a syntactical break.
-Your style and format was achieved very well through the requirements necessary. An excellent written format.
-Thank you for sharing and posting and may the good Lord be with you forever.
Alex

This is a wonderful poem with a good message. Your Rondelet conveys so much in so few lines. Interesting and provocative in its simplicity. Marilyn

Hi Debi,

You've written a wonderful Rondelet poem in perfect form. I like poems that ask a question and challenge the reader to think how they would answer that question. Many of us use the excuse of being too busy but there is always time to "soothe a grief, dry a tear" for both friends and strangers. Simple words yet deeply meaningful.
All the best,
Rodger

Hi Rodger,
Thank you for the great comments. I appreciate your insights as well. Being busy does seem to be one of our main excuses, but just a moment can sometimes means so much to someone who needs it.

This is a lovely Rondelet in perfect form. It flows beautifully and does not sound at all contrived to meet the requirements of this form of poetry. The content is lovely. Warm regards Dorothy x

An excellent interpretation of the rondel metre. The sentiment is conveyed with clarity. A moving and heartwarming poem, it spoke to me. Well written.
