The World is a Glass Menagerie

by Sabine Taylor   Aug 4, 2005


In these times of change and charge
It would be better to be cold than bold
As constants practice fragility
The World is a Glass Menagerie
Where rules the chaos and the kooks
In these times

We’re trying and endlessly crying
Yet going round panic and dread
Lost in dispersal sorrowfully
In these times

Deadlock is still the only pars
When “Stand up” resounds from the past
Though we shouldn’t query
Time brings solutions not confusion
In these times

Again a little practice to develop my writing style, this now is a Rondeau, some kind of style I will get used to I hope so, because I like it very much.
PLEASE, tell me what you think, that would help me very much !!!!

Thanks
Sabine

    This is great, practice away it's the only way to truly learn this great art of expression. I liked the theme and the structure was good, though I do agree with Kane Burden I think that there a few bits to work on. Hope you don't mind me saying so, but once again I always like your work and this is no exception at all!

    Im questioning your reasoning here Sabine :S I count 2 rhymes in this poem, but 3 refrains. The refrain is the opening line, and is repeated 3 times, though you dont use the entire opening line, so im not sure if it counts as a refrain either :S Sounds more like a chorus! :D Sorry for being so annoying, but i enjoy being able to discuss poetry with people :) Its still a good poem, its just me being annoying, sorry :( Kind regards from Kane

    Not to be opposite here. But a little constructive critism is always helpfull right ;) The theme was excellent, but it wasnt a Rondeau. A Rondeau usaually has between 10-13 lines with typpically 2 ryhmes throughout. And the opening phrace is repeated twice. :D great piece otherwise, kind regards from Kane
