Mr D :)

At the same time I posted - spooky, anyway I loved this on the thread and my mind has not changed. Brilliant, now I understand a little more (I think) :)

Michael, another amazing Rondeau! I love the love theme here-just beautiful!

This was just lovely Michael. I'd like to thank you for all the help you give in the thread. I think everyone enjoyed themselves.

No, we should thank you Hellon for showing this site how to be a community of writers, all sharing and learning together.

Sad and swoony Michael ... packaged in a beautiful Rondeau :-) The punctuation OCD side of me wants to see a question mark after your question though ... :-) x

Love this, Michael. All I would say is that in line 8 you seem to lose a syllable. However, the ellipsis makes up for it with pause, to a certain extent.

Take care,

Ben

Fully deserved, good fellow - well done.

Congrats!

Great win!

Judging comment:
I could just as easily have given this my 10 points this week - it was such a tricky choice! Mr Darcy’s beautifully romantic and expertly rhymed rondeau uses the summer rain as a brilliant metaphor to express the fear of drowning in his own tears if he can’t be with his love. There’s no heart alive that wouldn’t flutter a little (or a lot!) to receive such romantic words expressed within this wonderful form. :-) x
