I am also reviewing this item because it popped-up on the Random Review click. (Although I may not finish it within the required time, as my internet is spotty at the moment.) I love the Rondeau, with its magical twining and and returning of a line that adds emphasis in just the right way. You followed all the basics of an English Rondeau with the seriousness and the tetrameter. I found it a very smooth read. Also, this type of poetry form paints brilliant imagery in the reader's mind. I am not a huge fan of rhyming poetry that is just simple rhyme, especially when common words are more than overused for each rhyme word. However, this was not one of those. Plus, I must add, I am impressed! Why? Because I can clearly see this was created for a contest, and also that certain prompt words had to be used. The fact that you were able to weave in words such as :irascible, prevail, arcane -- did impress me. Not an easy task trying to keep the rhythm and keeping the them of following your heart.
Nicely done!
Until next time--write on!
