I loved this poem and the presentation you presented it in. The green is very effective. I became so entralled watching the accompanying video, I noticed several typos in it...beatiful; A little Attempt; and Tti which begs the question, why can't I find them in my own work? LOL. My sister has a covey of peacocks on her farm and they are quite fascinating. They have the hops too, at dusk they jump up into her big fur trees for the night, avoiding hungry coyotes on the prowl.

    Mary, typos in what, the video or MY work?

    This is one of poetry's most difficult forms. I have yet to add the description of how to compose using it, but it's on par with the Crown of Sonnets. I might have missed something, but I don't think so.

    Anyway, thank you very much.

    Not in your work, in the video...It made me laugh. I miss so many in my own work, but in a professional piece like that peacock video, there were 3!

    Ha! That's nothing - I won't tell you the names of the TWO, BEST-SELLING AUTHORS I found had errors within the pages of novels! (I won;t tell ya, cuz I can't remember, but I honest-to-God remember there were mistakes! LOL)

    Thanks, Mary.

Your Rondeau Redouble is outstanding. Well rhymed, loaded with information, and interesting. Form-wise, I'm not too familiar with it, but know that you are, so I know it's right. Much luck in the contest. Marilyn

Thank you for sharing. This is a well-executed example of a difficult form. I like the subject matter and the presentation as well. Writing a poem a day sounds like a significant challenge. Good luck in your quest.
