Oh, what beautiful imagery in this lovely poem, Yvonne. This is one I will have to enjoy more than once, for sure! It's going into my bookcase, and please know, it is yet another work of art I wish I could rate properly -- I'm out of sixes this week.

    I'm so glad you liked it. I don't worry about the stars. Thank you for bookcasing it. That's very flattering.

Lovely thoughts in your Rondeau Yvonne and lovely descriptions in each stanza, the eagle's silhouette against the sun, the whippoorwills sweet lullabye, pretty pictures you paint. Nice one,
cheers,
valda

Hi Yvonne. This is a nicely composed Rondeau with good rhyme and your repeating phrase, "for just one day." Certain things we may find appealing are worth the wait. We'd like to have the chance for just a day. Marilyn

I'm pretty stingy when it comes to giving out six stars, since we are allowed so few. This is a beautifully written poem, use of lovely words like swooping, and whippoorwill , and the rhyming is wonderful. The image you chose and the background color with the white font are striking. Beautiful poem!

-Nice image and
presentation.
-A well written poem with
effective imagery, rhyme,
and repeating phrase.
-I like your premise of
being able to fly like
an eagle "for just one day."
-The second verse is very
good as you imagine pirate
ships full of treasure.
-A very good conclusion, too.
-Thanks for sharing.

What an imaginative fantasy! You make me want to fly along with you across that golden sky. What a great picture of what we would fly over. Very nice!

And what a wonderful Rondeau this is, Yvonne. It's beautifully written and your wish doesn't seem at all unreasonable to me. A pleasure to read and with such great imagery and imagination. I loved it. Warm regards. Ulla:)))

This is a very original rondeau. I love the idea of this one day treat that involves some fantastic but wonderful desires. To fly with the eagles. Now that would be something.

A very well-formed rondeau.

    Wouldn't it be wonderful, even if just for one day. Thank you so much for a great review, and for 'getting' my meaning.

This sounds like a daydream to have adventures. I have the answers to your first two stanzas. Go parasailing at sunset. And go to Chicago during the Summer and take a ride on the Tall Ship there where 3pm on one of the weekend days the workers on the ship dress as pirates.
Well written rondeau for the potlatch.
Happy Holidays.
Keep writing
Joan
