No, give a rest to the horror and write a little more romance for your wife. This Rondeau on undying love is very beautiful. My fave line "My solemn oath to thee."

Well, I don't know what it looked like before your revisions but I enjoyed it very much. A sweet departure from your usual contributions! I kept staring at the woman as I expected her to turn into a vampire or something.

Well, I dunno, Dean. I think this is very good. True, it's not typical Dean Kuch, but I really like this. I think this is a beautiful poem of love and devotion.

"Undying love shall never stop, as spring rains breathe fresh autumn's crop." That line alone is awesome, Dean!

Cheers!

Mike

Stunning, Dean. I love the Rondeau form, its melodical French essence, and you did this form justice. Great rhymes and cadence. A phenomenal presentation.

Best of luck in the contest with this striking piece.

Reminded me a bit of Edgar Allen Poe. I really liked the bit about only her hair remaining on the pillow. Classically penned, very polished. Perhaps you should try new forms more often! Nothing I could find that I'd change. Thanks for sharing.

Excellent romantic poem. Lines rhymed good.
FAINT GHOSTS ADORN THY PILLOW TOP,
THEY CATCH MY GAZE, MIND HEART DOTH DROP;

Hi Dean Kuch,

I enjoyed this poem, you certainly have the talent, no matter the fact it isn't your 'normal' genre.

Very good effort, it captures nicely the sense of loss following the death of someone you love.

Patrick
