Looks a very nice place to sit and dine, lovely views. It was a nice graceful poem, in line with the setting. Excellent rhyming and imagery, Faye

Hi, Treischel,
"Beneath an Open Canopy" is an excellent Rondeau Redouble meticulously following its prescribed rhyme scheme, meter and structure. The rhyme is good and the figurative language excellent ("to share a glass of vintage cheer). In my opinion
the unfortunate "stars appear beneath an open canopy" knocks this poem for contention for 6 stars.
Your friend and colleague,
Preston

Thank you Preston. The stars appear after kissing. But a 5 is a fine rating.

This is definitely one in the eye for those who would do away with adverbs. There seems to be a school of thought around that says adverbs are bad style. I have never been able to see why. I liked this , adverbs and all.

Thank you Pantygynt . I'm not adverse to adverbs either.

A beautiful poem with excellent rhyming and repetition of lines in each stanza. You created the mood of romance. I'm envious. In my case, I would be gulping the beer down trying to drown the abuse from her. Well done, Tom.

Thank you for your striking photograph and details about Hastings and its new bridge. You captured the mood well and extended it with your description of the "bridge to happiness. I enjoyed your rhymes and repeats in this complex Rondeau. Hugs and happy weekend- Joan

This is a solid write. It flows well and conjures up a picture of two people falling in love. It is a descriptive poem and well written. Good job!
