You used the Rhyme Royale form well to tell us this intriguing story about Camille and her affair. It seems more than an affair as she "did leave her guy." It seems she's not going to let societal judgments bring her down.

    Lyenochka, yes she is spunky, the Camille I muse about is the classical Camille, who was the mistress of Claude Monet.
    It is my prayer that you and your family prosper in health, wealth and joy all throughout 2023

I can remember when you started out, I think you were reluctant to try new forms, but then you broke out, this is beautifully written as always, all one needs is the courage to break the shackles of reluctance, and you have, well done, blessings Roy

    Roy, what kindness and encouragement are your words to my eyes!

Wonderful entry for the Rhyme Royal potlatch event.

Good rhyme and meter that doesn't sound forced. I never heard of rhyme royal. It has a good sound. Nice presentation and imagery. Good luck in the contest.

I find nothing wrong with your poem or rhyme scheme. And to an accomplished poet, perhaps this is a trifle. But did you notice that the "e" at the end of the last word is much smaller than the rest of the font?

Wow! This is a clever and well metered write with great rhyming and flow. You excelled here and I loved the subject matter and your well chosen words. The last letter is a bit small, you might want to fix that. A joy to read, love Dolly x

What a story you told in a brief rhyme. Your picture suited it well. One suggestion for you: Hurrah to "her"--always a pronoun object after a preposition.

I like this rhyme Royal.
And, it speaks highly of nobility.
And, also the style that you had written.
This was well written rich in Theme and Imagery.
It also, read well and flowed well with No Grammar Issues.
Thanks for sharing this and good luck with your Potach entry.

Excellent choice of artwork to compliment your poem. This is a new form to me so thank you for the explanation in your notes. Provocative and well done Royal Rhyme.

Blessings
Janet.

This is provocative and interesting. I wonder, did you intend the last line and last word to end with a tiny 'e'? I love that the mistress did not feel ashamed but when you rhyme ashamed with fam with a tiny 'e' at the end I do not get the reason why.
