No Words*, Rondeau Options

[Larry]

No Words

There are no words which might express
the gratitude and happiness
that fills my heart each morn and eve.
I’m always reticent to leave
my new back porch but I confess

a friend who thought that he would bless
me with this gift without redress
merits the praise he would receive.
There are no words!

He took what once was one big mess
in my back yard when I said yes
to kindness. I could not conceive
that this, his best recitative,
would shelter me. I’d have to guess
there are no words.


S2/L2 did end in "could not believe"
S3/L1-2 did read: He took what once was a big mess of a back yard...


Thanks Daniel!

You Should Have Shared

You should have shared some time ago
when we were Rondeau swapping so
that I would not look like a fool.
Now I must use this typing tool
to rearrange what I should know.

My problem wasn’t rhyming’s flow
but in the scheme of things; although
I needed to be sent to school,
you should have shared

that in “My Home”, “My Brain” and woe,
“Awakening” I stubbed my toe.
“Eternal Gifts” might be a jewel
but some critique would not be cruel.
In the same way, they’re not “Rondeau”!
You should have shared.


The above listed “Rondon’ts” all have the same mistake in S2 with the rhyme scheme abbR instead of the proper aabR. Like I say, you should have shared!

I get your point with the “golden chalk” and will make that change. Thanks.
