Comment from JLR
Damommy, what a very well presented Paradelle poem that evoke a smile as each refrain unfolded into a conversation with oneself perhaps we all have had at one t8me or another.Thanks for making this introduction to a rather challenging poetic style such a pleasure to read.

Hi Yvonne, Great poem. You did a really good job. When the Alzheimer's begins to kick in, I'm just going to tell everyone that I've chosen to now speak in "Paradellese" a Paradelle poetry format. That's my story, and I'm sticking to it. Well done. A fun poem. Xo. Margaret

Hahahaha. Good idea. I love it. I've always said when my mind begins to go, no one will tell the difference. Thanks, Margaret.

This is the second Paradelles I have read today, and the repetition bothers me as much as the first one. It is not the writer's fault--it is the constraints under which you must write. I will not torture myself by reading more; however, you did a fine job.

OK Yvonne,
I have to admit, this isn't my favorite form of poetry. I know that it's intentional, but I'm just not a fan. Of course I'm a big fan of you personally, but honestly, I hope you don't do anymore of these. My little brain has a hard time processing stuff like this.
Have a blessed evening.

I know. I just wanted to support the sponsor of the contest. I won't be doing any more.
-
You're a nice lady, I'm sure the sponsor appreciated your efforts. I guess I'm an old fogey who can't accept change well.
-
I don't like change. Stewart and I were talking about that today. He's the same.

You did a great job, Yvonne, with your contest entry.
It was fun to read. I had a mental picture of everything
as I read. Your repeated lines added to it each time. Your
last lines were a great mix of the words required. The picture
was a great choice to pair with your descriptive words. Even
if intended to be nonsense, your words still flowed smoothly
and gave readers a laugh.
Thanks for sharing and best wishes in the contest, Jan

Comment from GWHARGIS
I even read the instructions and I don't understand it. Your poem, however, was quite fun. Almost as if you're talking to yourself while in the presence of others. Kind of makes me aggravated that someone intentionally does something bad and still gets published. Ah, well. Great poem. Gretchen

I know what you mean about this being published. Thanks for reviewing.
Comment from judiverse
These paradelles look difficult, even though they're meant to be nonsensical. You did a great job with yours, and I enjoyed the repetitions. It must be fun to figure out your strategy to meet the requirements. I like that you mention being old, because repetition is sometimes so common with the elderly. Excellent rhyme. judi

I see what you mean by the Billy Collins last verse. I thought it was a reference to old age LOL
I've read a few of these Paradelles this morning, an unusual form. I enjoyed yours, and I can relate. LOL

Comment from Ric Myworld
This one sort of reminded me of back when I was a kid. Back when children liked to repeat everything someone said to them until it made you want to pull your hair out and scream. LOL. Thanks for sharing.

That's so annoying! Thanks for reviewing.
Comment from Heather Knight
This is the second paradelle I've read today, but even though I like Bill Collins very much it's the first time I hear about this poetic form.
Thanks for making me smile by sharing yours.
