Wow this is an excellent rondeau.
The Man in the MOon indeed does light our way bringing out the fanticies of thought and imagination. I love the moonbeams and have not heard that phrase in a long time

And what a lovely, well written Rondeau this is too, Luna.
Such eloquent wording as you've used here can only lend itself to peak the imagination and inspire us all in our own work and lives.
You really have raised the bar around here and make all who consider themselves to be "poets" work and think extra hard to uphold your high standards.
Congratulations on another stellar piece of poetic expressionism.

Entertaining poem done in what looks to me like a difficult form. Well done! Poem flows well. Excellent use of artwork. I don't see anything that needs to be changed.

Hello Luna, This is a poem that many will relate. I especially liked:

You are my rock in dark of night
and keep at bay all tears or fright.

(Yes, a glowing rock, indeed.)

I also liked:
For travelers you light, pristine,
a pathway to the Evergreens ~

(Good imagery)

Good artwork choice. I like how your man in the moon looks like a man. Keep the blue waters flowing. LateBloomer

Your poem screams with beautiful imagery and challenges both the mind and the heart. The words are very smooth and story could almost be directly translated about having loved then lost.

Hello Luna
Now here is a very good Rondeau poem about the man in the moon.
I love the rhyming words-

Upon the softest, sweet sateen
I've dreamt the Queen a wolverine.

and

For travelers you light, pristine,
a pathway to the Evergreens ~

What a beautiful piece written with so many restrictions. I suppose if a poet is really good, they can write no matter what... I loved the entire poem and it made me feel the safety of the moon and imagine his queen. Bravo, well done, and publish-worthy!!

A very nice rondeau. Lullabyish. Nice gentle rhythm. Your rhymes are natural and unforced. Creative amd mystical. Thank you for sharing your work.
