This is a beautiful rondeau that takes us on a journey of escapism! I loved the imagery of flying like an eagle. Then we're on a pirate ship looking for treasures. Thanks for taking us along!

This is a beautifully written rondeau, Yvonne. Your presentation adds to the enjoyment for readers. The image choice lends to the magical appeal and sense of being able to fly for just one day. Your font has a haunting, in a good way, appearance. Your words flow smoothly with great meter and rhyme, The imagery is engaging--readers can feel your desire to do as you have written and want to join you just for one day. It would be amazing to be able to fly and see all from a different perspective Thanks for sharing. Respectfully with Love, Jan

I'd do it for just one hour to see how it feels. This is lovely and most of us can relate I think. I do wish you had used a more readable font. I had a lot of trouble reading it, but it was worth it. :)

Beautiful rondeau, and you inspire me to try one. I like your thought of "for just one day." After reading your description of soaring with eagles, spying treasure chests from pirate ships, readers are invited to think of what they'd do "for just one day." This is a delightful and whimsical thinking.

I can easily relate to the wishes of the Speaker here, especially as I get older. It would be great to fly--if only for one day-- and spy on pirates and just enjoy the birds. I especially like the mournful tone of the final stanza. This rondeau was a pleasure to read with its smooth, even cadence and well-chosen rhymes. Rod

I, too , believe just one day before I die, to live what nature has for us to see. I love your listing and your wording. Very nicely done rondeau for the challenge
