An interesting type of poetry I'd like to try. I've done that so many times with people...they will come up to me and I'll rack my brain about where we met. At the same time they'll know my name, birth date, and social security number. Arrrrgh. I keep pretending to know them until the end..lol. Thanks for sharing.

Hello my friend,
I can relate. I have a terrible memory. However, I never forget a face. I don't write Rondeau poems but I like to read them. Yours is very well written. Thank you very much for sharing.

Gypsy, thank you. Have a great week!
Comment from Suzanna Ray
Dear JLR, dare I label one of you posts 'cute?'.
At least the photo IS (if you are young) AND
the poem IS (if you are elderly.)
The rhyme and meter fit this subject matter quite well.
I am sure this offering will be accepted by a large audience.

Suzanna, an old dog with youthful memories!
Comment from Justin Chopin
Great poem JLR. I thought the innovative use of rhymes you utilized in this piece and the smooth kind of conversation tone of your poem made it very easy for me to read. I also can relate to this poem because I find myself thinking that I've seen someone from my past and then wondering where I know them from. Well done.

Comment from Sandra du Plessis
A very well-written Rondeau about seeing someone on you like and do not know how to hide your feelings and draw a blank every time you come across the special lady.

Comment from harmony13
The author's words are interesting, clear and creative. The poem flows
and connects well. The words convey this type of memory loss especially
as we age. The poem flows and connects well.
Hope you are having a great weekend!

Harmony, thankyou
Comment from Cindy Decker
JLR, I often wonder how writers compose such smooth-flowing poems out of rigid poem forms. You have done exceptionally well with a very nice poem in the Rondeau form. It is a moment everyone has experienced one time or another: seeing someone you "know," but don't know who they are. Great work.
Best wishes,
Cindy

Comment from thaities, Rebecca V.
This poem has a good rhythm to it, has a message and a longing to it, and creates a wonder to what will become of the two in passing. Is there a future for them? Well done!

I've always felt that the right one will be noticed. They are drawn to one another.

PenPal JLR: I drew a blank. This happens to many people. My hubby
works at a grocery store. So many people say, "Hello There." His name
is John and it's in the Bible. Funny how people coming into the store
after church can't remember the name, John.
Great repeats and rhymes. I like this format. Stars for you. ********
