Rondeau 12-07 I thought I’d write a letter to someone I love; but let’s be true: let me declare there’s no such one. When all is said, admit it’s done. I’ll write; or yes, confess, to you the bird’s not on the wing, it flew away some years ago. We strew the nest to snow where coyotes run. I thought I’d write: Today, it seemed you also knew; I thought you understood how few the hours would be, and how the sun might set with two no longer one. But then that kiss.... What can I do? I thought I’d write. Nan (Pilgrim variety) |

Margherita and Magnus, thank you so much for looking at this one. For me, a Rondeau is as difficult as a Sestina. But every now and then I try to do one just to show myself I still can. Thanks for your encouraging words. ![]() Nan (Pilgrim variety) |
