Wow! You are on it today. Great thought indeed in such a concisely written poem. There are no frills here but it is an elegant poem, nonetheless. Love the picture choice with a child. When the world was full of possibilities. Great job. Gretchen

Comment from Dhale89
Great rondelet you have shared with us all. The words suggest an adults thoughts (not heard many children use accrue or mystique) but the picture guides us to read this as a childlike mind discovering the world around him/her. nicely done.

Perhaps this form was originally intended to reflect the speech patterns of a four year old. It seems so appropriate to them. One of my linguistic teachers said to consider the possibility that language arose first from children playing together.

Comment from closetpoetjester
A screed is due
when she shall gain the voice to speak,
A screed is due
Much conversation she will spew
New verbs and nouns accrue each week
Fresh adjectives she'll more than tweak
A screed is due!
All I can say is rest those ears now because they'll be bleeding shortly haha.
With that said they ARE adorbs once they start the chitchat. My boy is 11 and I've NEVER met a kid that talked as much as him.
I told him he'll do well with the ladies haha...you know the D&M. At least they'll get three words out of him.
Your poem is delightful Tony and it took me back half a dozen years to the time my little Tahlia starting squeaking.
Have fun!!

Six review stars would be more appropriate than a thumb for your brilliant response! We spend a couple of years encouraging the little perishers to talk and the next ten wishing we hadn't. Brief respite in the teenage grunting years and then they are off again. My daughter can keep a FaceTime conversation alive for several hours, whilst I dry up after only three minutes - conditioned by the pips and that welcome operator voice saying, "Your three minutes are up. Do you wish to pay for more time?"

Two sets of six stars in a row from your precious store, Nancy. How very kind of you! So glad that you enjoyed these two short poems. All the est, Tony
Comment from Dawn Munro
One again your marvelous poetry serves as a perfect platform for learning (with your permission, of course) - the rondelet this time, and what a sweet poem you have created. That adorable child in the picture you chose (or did the poem follow the picture? - I can see how it would) - what a beauty, and so pensive! *Big smile*

Thanks, Dawn. I very much appreciate your review and generous comments. In this case the picture came first. A rare pensive moment! I gather that now she's found her feet, she's a bit of a live wire! Kind regards, Tony

This speaks just a thought in mind that there is still something due to be thought over the matter and still it comes in full, speaker is unable to speak the due words needed.
