Hey there Sue It's sooo nice to see your wonderful enthusiasm for writing all sorts of different poetic formats. You've followed the specifications of the paradelle here, and your poem surely conforms to the rules... Now for an added challenge - Take the last stanza and shuffle those words around - using every single one of them - no more - no less - to form a new thought. This becomes the most difficult part of writing paradelles... You're way ahead of the rest of the class, so far, m'friend...  |

"Now for an added challenge - Take the last stanza and shuffle those words around - using every single one of them - no more - no less - to form a new thought. This becomes the most difficult part of writing paradelles" Oh my teacher! Shuffling these words around is indeed a more difficult challenge. LOL! That will be almost as bad as trying to write a sestina. But, I will give it a try. I am off to work on the shuffling of the words, now. Thank you for helping me learn these forms. |

My hat is off to you, Sue. I'm still struggling to do the classwork paradelle. To date, my words fail.  Shenachie |
