While you were trying to figure out the style, as you were writing it, I was trying to figure it out, while I was reading it. The rhyming scheme did change with the progression and it was very creative. Of course, I love the message about the writing in general and the important role the almighty pen does play. Congratulations on another recognized ribbon... Keep up the good work

I am not sure about the Rondeau styled poem structured but I like your poem and it flows smoothly from start to finish. 8-)

Thank you so much, BG! The Rondeau is a mind blower and it will be awhile before I attempt another LOL. I am happy this worked for you and very grateful for the lovely encouragement.

Now thins is interesting poetry. Empty pen. Sounds like my brain after two bad reviews. You did good with this. Not sure about the rhythm. Blessing to you.

Thank you so much, Ben! The Rondeau has very specific rhyme and refrain requirements so it does not flow like a simpler rhymed poem. I am happy you enjoyed it though and always grateful for such kind encouragement.

Good Morning, Poet
I enjoyed your poem very much. I admired your rhyming pattern and thing its variance is a strength due to the overall manner in which you developed the poem's theme. Your poem surely will resonate with FS poets as we've all written into the night more times, I'm sure, than any of us would care to admit!
A good read for this Sunday morning.

Comment from Rmocruz
You have masterfully personified the "Pen" with metaphorical verse as well as effective repetition. A deep well presented message is poetically presented in solid rhymes. Rhyme is somewhat similar to that of a limerick.
Exceptional overall. The message resonates to this writer.

Inspiration easily slips away--a poet's pen needs to take the opportunity to reach for this great gift;
A well-penned poem on the importance of these treasured moments;
Excellent! You have done well with this format.

Thank you so much, Margaret! I am thrilled that you liked this as it was a bit of a challenge to force myself to do it in Rondeau rather than just go with the flow which is easier for me. I am always very appreciative of your kind support.
Comment from Jackarrie
Wow, Monica, I really like this one you have written about the pen It is a thought provoking poem of the writer the words left as we pass on. We all write because we love to, and in some cases we are compelled.
Well written
Well done.
Mary
You are certainly on a wonderful roll, keep writing.

Thank you so much, Mary! I think all forms of art are a form of energy transferred from the creator's spirit to a physical medium. Energy never dies and will always leave its imprint in some form. I am so happy you enjoyed this and always grateful beyond measure for your uplifting and encouraging support.

Mystic Angel;
an enjoyable read and well written for I liked the cadence of the rhythm As it is written as: Da dum, Da dum, Da dum, Da dum. Though after a while, but not much as it does seem to become a little redundant Up until you free itself with a marvelous ending of verse with a line telling the reader that the pen is either new, half-full Or empty.
And I really like this style and the format that you are written. So the redundancy really helps as it is broken up with a freelance line.
Thank you for sharing and posting this for everyone to read and may all your future writings be as good as this one.

Thank you so much, Alex! I guess the Rondeau form can seem a little bit redundant due to the required refrain that must be repeated at specific intervals. I am happy you enjoyed this and always grateful the encouragement.
