Every Star

When every star has flown the sky
When every star has flown the sky
And every moon beam said goodbye
And every moon beam said goodbye
When every moon beam, every star
Has flown the sky, and said goodbye

I still will hold a dream to keep
I still will hold a dream to keep
In darkness of the room I sleep
In darkness of the room I sleep
The still of darkness I will sleep
In room I hold a dream to keep

Of the cherished days our hearts unfold
Of the cherished days our hearts unfold
Memories which are in rhymes of gold
Memories which are in rhymes of gold
Of cherished hearts whichrhymes unfold
The memories are in our days of gold

When days unfold a said good-bye
Our dream I hold has flown the sky
Memories beam of hearts which still are
The cherished rhymes to every star
I will keep in darkness of the room
And sleep in gold of every moon

Ohhhhhhhhh Lordy......I am so far behind you in this learning thing.  You make it all seem so simple and here I am JUST now studying Sonnets.  Beautiful Paradelle......don't know all ther rules but I do know what reads beautifully and THIS DOES.  Excellent visions of peaceful thoughts just spill out in this one.

Elizabeth,
this reads like a lullably, something that a mum will sing to her children before they sleep, no longer afraid of monsters hanging around in the dark...

well written!

Well, I didn't think anyone could write a paradelle that was truly interesting. I was wrong.

I still don't like all the repetition. I don't even like the form at all. But yours is pretty darn close. Even with all the words you had to jumble into the last stanza, it still made pretty good sense.

Thanks,
Pete

This is truly wonderful, Lizzy... You've crafted this perfectly... and... You flushed out Pete's real reason for NOT writing one.  Good work, dear lady..
