A very well-written Rondel about the bright colours of our childhood that we still enjoy today the bright goods of the rainbow that inspire the human mind no matter how old we are

Second stanza is "fabulous darling", just saying it in a funny way. Good presentation. Nice work done here. You followed the criteria well. Happy writing!

LOL! So glad you enjoyed, 'darlin' (wink, wink)! Thanks so much for the much-needed smile this morning - have a terrific Thursday!
Comment from write hand blue
I remember as a child being entranced by colours, this was encouraged by my Mother who was a painter. She bought me a kit that contained glass beads I remember them so well. Your poem brought the memory back.
I like the poem which is so well written that I've read it now several times. It's true we are (at least I am) influenced by colours and things from childhood. Good luck in the contest. ~Mel~

Thank you for your review and especially for those bright and shiny stars, and be sure to stop by again some time after the contest is over! Here's wishing you a terrific Thursday out there!

I don't really think you need the ellipsis to be hones but other than that I really like the piece. Aesthetically it works well, I thought it flowed smoothly and was well written. Great work here, thanks for sharing, good luck in the contest. Later daze.

Comment from Dolly'sPoems
Rainbows have been very popular in the windows of all houses during the pandemic to try and lift everyone's spirit, this is what your Rondel did for me today, a fine uplifting poem full of hope and vivid shades of the rainbow here, love Dolly x

I enjoyed reading your Rondeau poem. It is well-written and it rhymes and flows well with childhood memories. Your artwork choice, along with your poem gives a nice presentation. Best wishes!

Comment from Jasmine Girl
I really enjoyed reading this poem that started and ended with the same sentence. Yet it went through three stages in the middle.
1. Start
2. Dream and recollect
3. Fade into the end
It looped back to the colorful childhood rainbow.
Well done.

It is the Rondel Form - requirements are very specific. ;-) ;-) Thank you so much for your review!
Comment from Gloria ....
This is a terrific entry into the rondel contest, author. Your repeating lines from stanza one are positioned seamlessly within the subsequent stanzas, and the two rhymes fall naturally and add to the theme of what moves you to write.
Wishing you great luck in the voting booths and many thanks for sharing your work.

Comment from Melissa Russell Deur
Your final stanza really struck me. Our eyesight and memories fade as we age, but if we put our recollections on the page then others will know what we cared about, what we dreamed, what we hoped for. This is a PA for journaling! It's so interesting to revisit our young selves!

Comment from Bobby Cunningham
It's very creative to be capable of following such a strict rhyming pattern like this contest requires, but you did that beautifully here. The rhyming is really very good. Best of luck in the contest. Have a wonderful night.
