The moon, May the man be there for you in his serenity always. I enjoyed your Rondeau. I am learning so much from all of the innovative writers on this site. Thank you so much.

    Are you a Cancer, by any chance?: I am, and that's why my good friends call me Moonchild.

I have not mastered the Rondeau, but you certainly have.
Your poetic dissertation with regard to the 'Man in the Moon'
was pleasant to read. I feel there is an underlying theme that
one must align with to get the full meaning of this write.
I have read your profile and can find certain metaphors to
support addictive behavior. You are my rock, you're back and so serene.
Well done, my friend
:) Carolyn

So, the secret to having a night of good dreams and peace is to find the man in the moon? Over the past couple years I've been sleeping more and more so maybe I've found the man in the moon and never knew it. Great job

Very nice, Jeni. I often look up at the moon and speak to the man smiling down. On a clear night with the stars surrounding the moon, there is nothing quite like it. This is a lovely poem, my friend. :) Sandra xx

I am in awe. This is a beautiful poem. I am book casing it so I can read it again. Lovely use of words that captures a magical feeling which I need right now in the cold, snowy winter. Nothing less than a six.

    Dear mermaids,

    Thank you SO MUCH for this six-star review. I appreciate it so much, it's an honor and I'll not soon forget it.

    I'm glad this could give you what you needed now during this cold winter (no snow where I live - darn!). Thanks again for the six stars.

The danger with these restrictive and repeating forms is that the rhyme can become forced as a result. The quatrain is bordering on this. The queen and her wolverine nature appears only in this stanza and seems to be there more for the rhyme than the story, which is one of the definitions of forced rhyme.

My next classroom course will be on the subject of various continental forms written in English, starting mid February. If you are interested.

    Actually, the stanza isn't for the rhyme, those words just came to my head at that point and I liked them for the poem. I'm sorry that they sounded forced. I'll definitely attend your class this February, I can't wait!

Wow, Luna, this is really lovely and I'm really taken with your wonderful poem about the face of the moon. The moon has always been surrounded by tales and mystery. I love it. All the best. Ulla:)))

In the English Middle Ages and renaissance, the moon was thought to be the god of drunkards, and at least three London taverns were named "The Man in the Moone". Thanks for a great "man in moon" poem.
Bill~
