A very sombre filled yet beautiful piece

Lovely Rondeau, Michael...

I hope it does better than the one I posted last week. ;0)

Favorites... meet Twilight Memories

I love the form, but what you've done with it is truly inspiring. You managed to blend the refrain into the preceding line to complete a thought rather than have it be just a piece of the first line repeating. Well done.

Rondeau are a nice form and you have done well with it!
Memories and moonlight when mixed together can get the
heart roaming and thoughts running...nice work...take care

I don't understand why such beautiful poems don't show up on the front page.
Loved it, M(magical)ichael.

Judges made it memorable too by bringing it on front page. I am happy for you, my friend, and grateful to them.

Great win Michael!

Congrats on the win. This is great poem. It's sad emotions come thru in beautiful images of your words

Such a gorgeous piece of poetry!!

judges comment

I was in two minds about awarding this a 10 or 7 points, purely because I am no expert on writing a Rondeau. In fact I have never written one. So I looked at this from a different POV and I am judging this on the content. I love the depth of feeling in this piece, it is cleverly written and the rhyming is used well. As you read it conjures many images, a piece of colorful poetry. Well written 10 points.

(in fact I did attempt one and I am still dismayed by the form.)
