Hello Author, What a nice Rondel your poem, Once were gold, is. It brought a smile to my face as I thought of a garland we made for my mother and father for their Christmas Tree last year. We found a whole bunch of old family photos and made a garland out of them to wrap around the tree. Just one more way to remember everyone every year. :)

An interesting form, cleverly designed and well rhymed, it works well, fits the rhyming genre well. I like your theme, which is the foundation, the language comes next with creative wording and design for rhythm, well dine, excellent job, blessings, Roy

A very well-written Rondel each memory we have of our lives are special. We can always hold it dear to our hearts when others don't appreciate them we do.

Comment from jmshumate
You wrote a very nice poem and followed the format well. This poem hits home with me as I have has two wives pass away. Life changes after losing a loved one, things don't seem the same. God has since blessed me with a new wife and a new life, but the pains of loss still linger. I try my best to look forward not to forget but to live life. Thank you for sharing this heartfelt poem.

Thank you for the sympathetic review. Indeed, life can change forever when a long-time partner dies.
Comment from Miss Sherry
Splendid poem that prompted a tear. Thank you for the outlay of the style of the write. Am trying to increase my knowledge and you teach well. There is an aura of sorrow in your words that encapsulates the reader's mind as well - very nicely done

Comment from Janice Canerdy
This is SO sad--but so well-written. We often think of photo albums
as a mean of preserving the past. We may look at those old pictures
and smile--or cry, depending on our circumstances.

You have done an excellent job on this Rondel form for the contest prompt. I think your verse is full of remorse and you describe that very well with your clever writing. Well done.

Thank you. Not really remorse - just unbearable sadness.

The Rondel poetic form has its own charm. This one is very well done. The rhyme scheme and repeats are deftly scripted, the thoughts well expressed. Very good job.
