I found the author's words filled with meaning, are descriptive and
creative. I liked how the author mentioned the dark ways left behind.
The poem conveys a strong message about faith entwined with wisdom.
The artwork compliments both the theme and words of this poem.
Great poem, Roy!

Your Fortress is such a special place... a place where you speak to God and are able to feel the love and spirit your prayer does bring... I think it goes without saying that each thought you share with us is crystal clear and deep... yours, di

You really are a born poet, Roy. Thank you for the author's note explaining what a rondeau poem is. I have never heard of it before until I became a member of FanStory. Best wishes! Ver

Nicely written Rondeau. This is very nicely put together with a great rhyme scheme. Lovely overall presentation as well. Amazing photo to compliment your words.

Hello Roy,
You've written the rondeau very well
weaving the two rhymes into the form
and maintaining the syllable line,
plus the repeat.
Nice touch of alliteration too.
The incredible the photograph of castle works well
One of your top poems.
Best wishes.
Robert

The Rondeau isn't an easy form to get right. The two rhymes are quite restrictive. However, you've woven them in skillfully to produce a perfect flow. The motif of faith replacing 'old, dark ways' is one of your favourites and particularly well expressed here.

A love this fortress reminds me of the old hymn, A Mighty Fortress is our God. You always have a spiritual message which brings purity and beauty to all you write. God Bless you, Laura.

A fine poem Roy, and it is wise to guard one's mind for we are easily weakened and overcome if we don't build a protective fortress. Thoughtful one, well written.
