"SIMPLY POSITIVE GROUPOpen in new Window.

Hello there, 💙 Carly: Joan Watson
This is a Simply Positive Review! *FlipFlops1*


*Tackb* 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.) *Laugh*

*Hourglass* I love the Rondeau, with its magical twining and and returning of a line that adds emphasis in just the right way.


*Fleurdelis* You followed all the basics of an English Rondeau with the seriousness and the tetrameter.


*PointRight* 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.


*CheckG* 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! *UmbrellaP*

Until next time--write on!

Regards,
WebWitch *Witch*
