Whilst I enjoyed the sentiments of this rondeau, and found the vocabulary used well-suited to the mood, I felt the poem creaked a bit on reading aloud. I think this was because the syllable counts on the a / b rhyme lines wasn't constant. I checked in 'Poetry dances' and that's recommended. Kate xx

"God whisper" should be "God whispered"
Other than that, this is an excellent poem. I enjoyed reading it. Thank you so much for sharing, and best wishes to you.

How neatly done and sweet the poem is. Nice rhyming
I wish the refrain is a bit shorter, but your effusive full sentence does its magic too.
Very enjoyable to read. Thanks.

This modified rondeau, I Couldn't Wait, projects the sentiment which is what it's all about really. The piece follows the format for the most part, though the modified refrain might better be incorporated into the first line or limit the refrain to "the first time I saw you".
