hundreds live together under shady trees - I love that line, and the shady trees giving the bluebells shelter. Beautifully written rondeau about this field of bluebells Trish, very enjoyable read.

Hi, Trisha,

How wonderful to be reminded of the beauty of the bluebells when the cold is beginning to kill every flower in my yard. The bluebells always make me smile.

Your descriptive words work well here. Thank you for sharing your Rondeau,

~MP~

I actually lived 2 streets away from a scene similar to the picture. That was fifty years ago, Probably, the woods have been cut down for ?progress ? ie housing, as London sprawls outward. Thanks very much for your complementary review

A very well-written Rondeau poem for the potlatch club. The bluebell flower is a unique little flower and your poem work well with this topic and the repeating lines are working perfectly.

Thank you, your complimentsry review meant a lot to me. I lived 2 roads away from woods like these. They probably have been torn up for housing in Greater London (then it was stockbroker green belt area).

Oh my goodness, Trish...this is just wonderful!! :) ;) I love the serenity written into to your lines here and I cannot tell you how much it is welcome because of the warmth in memory it recalls -- just love it! :) Just a couple of catches in the body of the poem: on your line one, put a space in there after 'is' (I'm sure Nature would appreciate not having that silly little verb glued to him - LOL!!!) and a poet's stage of 'Rem'....did you mean REM (as in the dream stage of sleep)...if not, just ignore the crazy blonde over here!! I cannot tell you what a wash of happy emotions your poem invokes...THANK YOU!! :) ;) Yvette
P.S. There's a gnome graffiti insert way at the bottom of your author notes right after the word 'Copyright'....looks like that little guy got a bit carried away on you! :) :) LOL!! LOL!! LOL!!

This is a really lovely rondeau. It's also educational, telling when
the bluebell thrives, how it's protected, etc. Your figures of
speech are very effective. (Typo in the last line).

Hello, I am enthralled with your verse and really like the photography you chose to enhance it. I would add that in the last line, the word ..bluebell.. is misspelled. Good job on this poem.

Comment from Debbie Pope

What an uplifting poem. When I was in England last spring, the tour guide kept saying that you may get to see some bluebells along the road if you look carefully. We never did though. I would love to see a moving ocean of bluebells. I like their tiny stems and the fact that hundreds live together. That is a charming thought.

I would not change a word of your poem. As a matter of cosmetics though, there are a couple of typos.

Line 1--space between is and Nature's
Line 4--pollen-seeking
Last line--bluebells is misspelled

Hope you are doing well, my friend. I like your lovely poem.

Hi Debbie friend, I?m glad you liked the Rondeau. It took ages to get it right! I was raised in a house less than 1 block away from the bluebell woods, Just beautiful.
