Lone Survivor (Rondeau)

Come fly away in autumn’s breeze
So taunt the leaves blown off the trees
Gone twirling, swirling through the sky
In auburn mixed with blues on high
That fills the poet eyes to please.

I watched them dance across with ease
In varied sizes and degrees
Of elegance while drifting nigh
And whispering their soft reply …
“Come fly away.”

I watched them serenade and tease
And dip they did down to their knees
As tumbling wayward, gone awry
They all went spinning, grinning by
One slightly letting go its squeeze …

“Come fly away!”




God bless,
Lighthouse Bob

Bob! That is a FANTASTIC Rondeau! That is one of my favourite forms to read and to write!
Not only was the form exquisite, but so was the theme of it! Thoroughly enjoyed!

Most beautiful indeed, dear Bob! It makes one stop and absorb the beauty you convey. It has a very captivating melody woven in.

Love,
Margherita

Thank you ladies for your kind replies and, Linda, in that this is my first Rondeau ever, I am quite surprised and very appreciative of your response.

Again, thank you All and God bless,

-Bob
