This mirrored hall poem, especially the final verse made me think of being trapped in a dream sequence and feeling pleased to finally wake up. I really enjoyed your French Rondeau, and wish you good luck in the contest.

Hi Melissa,
This is a nicely done rondeau which can describe anyone's life. Life is a lot of different facets good and bad that we move through.
Keep writing and stay healthy.
Happy Holidays.

I'm wondering if you meant to say "Fairway" places rather than "Faraway".
Do you enjoy paying golf? I suggest changing "the grotesque" by removing "the". Your words would have a better flow. Good luck in the contest.

This is a fabulous entry for the contest. The French Rondeau poetry form captures the feeling of a mirrored hall and the soul within. I will certainly be watching for the contest. My best wishes in the contest too.

This is a great mirror poem. It flows nicely and is well organized. I like the line"uneven floors induce a fall" I think its funny when people get hurt. I'm a little twisted like that.

Well done and good in the contest.

Cecilia

To be caught in a place thst was hard to escape from would be incredibly difficult with mirrors al around, the one thing about staring at oneself, particularly if there were guilt feelings wouldn't be, being faced by one's own despised image would be tough, beautifully written my friend, blessings Roy

Life is confusing. I feel like this mirrored hall is where I go when I try to figure it out. If I can just let myself roll on down, then I feel like life won't have to be so confusing, mainly cus I'm not focused on figuring it out
