Comment from Dean Kuch
As difficult as this form looks to do and do correctly, Anonymous Poet, you seem to have pulled it off while making it look quite easy.
I'm sure it's not.
We all dance to the tune of a different drummer.
Some much different than others.
Best wishes to you in the Rondel Poetry prompt.

Thank you for taking the time to read and review, Dean. We should all stay true to ourselves - it's what keeps it interesting!
Comment from royowen
Well done, an excellent rondel, as an entry in this poetry contest. Really about internal optimism, rising from the ashes by one's own internal resources.. The repeated refrain in five syllables and tetrametric lines the others. Beautifully written in articulate smooth verse. Excellent job, blessings, Roy

Beautiful artwork that is as graceful as your Rondel Poem; the same beautiful flow, the same vividness of meaning.
Excellent favs:
Disappointment cuts like a knife,
but inner power keeps us strong
Separate ourselves from the throng
to march to our own drum and fife
in the dance of life

This speaks a true feeling of living, in the dance of life we do not get to choose the song, situation and state of affairs in our courses of living is unexpected, only our inner power keeps us strong; well said, well done. Keep Writing -- DR ALCREATOR

What a pretty poem. I loved the topic, "The Dance of Life." A wonderfully written Rondel poem. I was not familiar with the format, but you have met the challenge perfectly. Good luck in the contest.

Yes a distinctly philosophical touch here in this Rondel reflecting on the journey of life and how we might deal with its inevitable ups and downs 'march to our own drum and fife'.
