1.) When Fates where gathered to forestall
--> just making sure it's supposed to be 'where' instead of 'were' - though I think you rarely misstep! *smile*
Tom,
This was beautiful - the stanzas flow together so perfectly, and the repeating lines fall effortlessly into place. The photo IS amazing!

Comment from dragonpoet
This poem tells how people who care about nature can avert the catastrophe of extinction of such a beautiful species. This poem and its notes were both fun
and educational.
I like the repetitive poetry formats. This one seems one of the hardest and you did it well.
Merry Christmas
Keep writing

Thank you Dragonpoet. Yes, it's good to see what some conservationists have done. I see more Eagles and Wild Turkeys now too.

You're welcome. I live on the edge of a government protected wild animal preserve so I see a lot of wild turkeys and I have deer eating crab apples that have fallen off the trees that border my driveway. I have heard but not seen coyotes. I have also seen a few bald eagles flying around.

Comment from sunnilicious
Swans must be nice to have around. That is a lovely poem. It's more like an ode. It is well thought out with great visual imagery and good rhymes. Informative poem with good storytelling. Nice work. Keep it up.
Merry Christmas

Comment from Joan E.
Thank you for the tribute to the comeback of the Trumpeter swan and your wonderful photograph. Your selection of the complex Rondeau Redouble form is so appropriate for your salute. You crafted it perfectly and your detailed notes also show your great admiration for the species and its "wherewithal" in avoiding "downfall". I too was "enthralled" by the giant "waterfowl" along with your rhymes, use of alliteration and repeats. Big cheers- Joan

Comment from nancy_e_davis
We have a pair in our city duck pond/fountain. They were mingled with Geese and Ducks a favorite place for local birds. They are a tourist attraction. Lovely Birds. This is a very well written Rondeau Redouble. Thank you for the information. It would be a shame to lose such beautiful birds. Merry Christmas. Love Nancy

This is so very remarkable. I love when birds and bodies of water are used in poetry. It gives such a feeling of peace and comfort. You have done an outstanding job with your poem as your words created the most lovely imagery within themselves.

Comment from Pantygynt
Mathematics was never my strong point and I stopped trying to unravel the repeats and complexities. Instead I just revelled in the feel of the poem. It may be complex but unlike some of these convoluted things the form did not seem to be at all obtrusive. In short i thought it worked a treat.
In this country we have a new slant as far as conservation od swans is concerned. All swans belong to the queen. End of story> Lol.
