Rondeau Redouble - Work Ethics Vs Starvation40 total reviews
Comment from Jeanie Mercer
The poem says it all (almost), and the picture of the empty hammock put to sea says the rest of it. The rondeau you wrote is in perfect form. Obviously having to step in to help bring in the bacon has not damaged your poetic talent--only left less time for it, of course. My best to you, Jeanie Mercer

You use the refrain lines derived from the lines of the first stanza to good effect in this well-composed rondeau redouble
excellent use of abab rhyming
great alliteration in wailing winds prevail and plead
you convey the speaker's emotions well in responding to this need to contribute to the family's coffers

This is a wonderful poem my Pippalicious. Great flow and really tidy rhymes.
Unfortunately we need money to live and especially when you have wee children. Don't worry if you take time to review, your family needs come first. Love n hugs, Jaq xxx

This is the sign of the times, so many people affected by the present day economy which is global. We are lucky to keep the roof over our heads, when it was so long ago when we felt we could spend without question.
A great story in a poem so well written. well done.

Your picture caught my attention on the main page. We are planning our first holiday ever to Mexico in December and I can't wait to see that lovely beach and laze around a bit :) I'm unemployed and could relate to your poem very much. Hope all goes well for you and your new job. Check in when you can but focus on feeding you and your family first. Take care!

This reads like an everyday page out of my life. I see either your ethics are rushed or 'Fleed' and shambling, or you've gone competitive with Webster. Seriously, I hope all's good and wish you luck in your search efforts, knowing full well we can never choose the just right job. Sometimes wit must take a bow and a back seat. Best of luck. Kenny

My special K...thanks so much, I seriously appreciate your enchanting review. I didn't choose the job...the job chose me. I am back working for myself, I couldn't work for a boss again if I tried. You know, I'm the assertive take no BS type...haha.
Perfect temperment to work for thyself. Wish me luck...I've quoted on 4 jobs and got every one. Shit I'll have to put me prices up.
Thanks for the sixer as always your reviews pep me up.
Cheers
Your friend P

You are about the fifth person to pick me on "fleed"...what the fluck??? LOL
I honestly thought it was a word..you know - the act of fleeing ain't fled...I consider I was in mid flee hence slight past tense. Make any sense? Nup. Thought not.
Hugs anyway and I just LOVE to give Webster a run for his damn money. Hahaha
-
You don't have an equal. I'd chain you between the stove and the goddamned refrigerator (LMAO). you'd be the perfect boss for yourself and this way you may keep your wit and creativity employed. Outside bosses frown on both. Fuck Webster, anyway. He's a pain in the thumb.
-
Hmmm...chained between whitegoods and a hot place.
So...who's crackin' the whip? LMAO
I agree, Webster can go to hell...I find Oxford so much more appealing...NOT!
And she has fleed...
