Really a well written Rondeau. I have not tried this form, but I have written some Rondeau Redoubles. It's a joy when one can turn out to make good sense. I enjoyed reading this one. Hav. Good week. Drew

This work has reached the exceptional level

This is a lovely and genuine monologue. Love your choice of rhymes here (been, seen, serene, sateen, queen, wolverine, evergreens, preen). Your use of the s sound is soothing and gives a lullaby feel to the rondeau throughout. Terrific use of language, sound (I did read it aloud), meter, and form. Wonderful job.

Luna,

This was a haunting poem but not my favorite of yours. The first stanza entranced me -- set me up beautifully for a delightful poem about the moon.

The shift in the second stanza surprised me. It was unexpected and I didn't understand the queen/wolverine on sheets reference at all!

The final stanza was okay but you had shifted again to the fairies who dance in the moon's light. I suppose there's only so much you can say about the moon but I was still disappointed. Sorry.

I almost offered a four star rating but I REALLY like that first stanza. *smile* lovely!

    Thanks very much for your review, my friend robyn.

    I guess we can't win 'em all, can we?

    Thanks for your honest opinion.

    The Queen / wolverine, sheets reference, by the way, was not meant to make sense, as many of our dreams don't. What I guess I left unsaid was that the man in the moon was overseeing it, actually overseeing the whole poem.

    But once again, I truly admire your honesty, and im happy that you enjoyed the first stanza!

I love this poem, it's an interesting style that I haven't seen before. I think you have a type-o in the title. Please check it.

Have a great day and God bless.

An absolutely amazing poem...poems written about the moon always come off so strongly to me...there's so much emotion in this. I love it. I know exactly how you feel, it is expressed so beautifully here, it is like gazing at the moon itself.

it's hard to pick out one line from this poem to congratulate you on...mainly because the entire thing was filled with only great lines.This was an 'all killer, no filler' type of work :). very nice. great job.Meia :)

Fix your title, you have written it as MAN IN ATHE MOON ah that's better lol
The man in the moon has been the subject of many writes even some songs such as REM'S man in the moon.
this is a very good Rondeau. Thanks for sharing
