Best Rondeau

Best Rondeau "Come dance with me" said with a smile He blushed and rose and all the while He couldn't help but see the eyes That promised love without the lies And seemed incapable of guile He led her 'round the floor with style And seemed to dance a magic mile Then dreamed of a future with ties "Come dance with me" Her perfume came from tropic isle And caused his lazy blood to rile His brain built him a new disguise And made him big and strong and wise He put her then atop the pile - "Come dance with me" July 12, 2016 For Contest Best Rondeau

I love the lines "His brain built him a new disguise And made him big and strong and wise" The older I get, the more married I become to meter and rhyme. You really do it well!

Thank you, Kurt! My usual genre is Cowboy Poetry and classically it's written wih consistent meter (the rhythm of the trail) and true rhyme. I think you'd like it if you aren't familiar with it. Just browse on Cowboy Poetry and you'll find a lot of it..thanks again. Larry
