You did this very good. It sure looks tough, though. I sure did want to do the workshop assignment this month, too. But unless, I get a better understanding of how to do this, I don't think I am going to be able to do it.  |

Oh yeah ... sure ... I'm in the nurses's station with my OWN headache already~ I'm not sure there's enough EXCEDRIN in the world to entice me to do a new Paradelle ....  Vicky ... you KNOW me ... and if I'm too dizzy to be on the merry-go-round, I'm surely too dizzy to take a spin on a Sestina~ Tell teacher that I'll take double-duty on banging the erasers !  And even that would hurt right now ! My Chiropractor had better get to 'cracking' ... or I'll have to miss this month's FUN~ Love you ... (but not quite enough for this)~ *Hugs* ~*Me*~ ~*The pen of the poet never runs out of ink, as long as we breathe.*~ |

Vicky, (hope I'm not too forward in calling you that.) This reads very well, follows the form too a tee,(if I'm not mistaken). Subject matter is strong, carries through to the end well. Very enjoyable. I picture a hammer,to drive the point home. I picture a hammer,to drive the point home. Darn, will this curse never leave me alone? Doc |

Very apt description of penning a paradelle. I have just made my first attempt at this form and can now fully appreciate your poem. Cleverly drawn picture of the whole process. Much appreciated, Shenachie |

OK, Vicky - This one is excellent - How's about a sestina now?... She says as she contemplates writing her own...  |
