Beautiful message. This has to be one of the smoothest reads I have ever encountered here. It is just flawless and the mastery of the form for your first time is amazing. You make the form work for you perfectly. Maybe a couple people here can use simple language to perfection like this. Adewpearl does it consistently and then a couple others do it once in awhile. This is a great piece. Well done, mikey

Hi Mikey,
Wow, to be compared to adewpearl in any way is a high compliment. I admire her ability so much. Thank you for such an encouraging review. I get butterflies every time I post, especially when it is something outside of my comfort zone. To have you call it smooth and flawless just makes me smile. I am happy you enjoyed the message. Thank you, Debi

'The Lord Is.' This is a good poem you have created here. It sounds good when read out aloud, but it also feels good when being read in silence. Well done.

Comment from Judd7
w.j.debi.......Yes very well done. I cannot suggest an improvement. I never use rhyme for many reasons but you do it so that it does not make it sound childish. Thanks for posting this.

Hi Judd,
Wow, that is one of the nicest compliments about rhyming you could give. I try hard to make it not sound sing-song, but still fit the requirements of the form. I appreciate the encouragement. Thank you.

The Holy Trinity, God the Father, Son and Holy Ghost is with us always. This is very well written with a smooth flow of words, making for a good read.

Comment from cantrhymetoogood
Wow! This seems a difficult form to work with. Your thoughts are lovely and there seems to be a wonderful message in this work. I'm going to admit that it was a tough read for me but I think that had more to do with the form. It seems very hard to make it flow. I give you credit for working in a form which is so restrictive :). Have a great day!

Thank you so much for kind words and your honesty. To understand form poetry I have to study it and to really get into for me that means attempting it. I appreciate you taking time to read and review even though it didn't make sense to you. Thank you so much for your well wishes. I appreciate it.

This is a very good rondeau poem. I love the message in your poem. It is very inspiring. I have never written in this form - I'll have to try it sometime.

Thank you for the gracious review. I am so happy you liked it and found it inspiring. Best of luck in writing a rondeau if you decide to.
Comment from Dorothy Farrell
You have followed all the rules for a Rondeau - you say it is your first. You have made a very good job of it. Three good stanzas and a good rhyming verse. This is a lovely Faith Rondeau. Regards Dorothy

Hi Dorothy,
Thank you for the kind comments and analysis. Yes, it is my first. I've decided I need to branch out and study more forms so I'll be trying a few to see what I like and to understand others' writing better. I know you write excellent sonnets and other forms so it means a lot to hear from you that I got the form right. Thank you.
