Ann Peck Poet Rondeau

If I Could Fly

If I could fly on Summer's breeze
and leave behind my selfish pleas
Glimpse Nature's handiwork supreme
See the Earth in different themes,
Nature's weave and magical tease.

I'd sit at night on blossomed trees
Watch Heaven's stars alight with ease
then race a passing, bright moonbeam
          If I could fly...

On fragrant breeze, find Summer's keys
Open wings of lavender leaves
No longer tied to worldly schemes
Just Breeze and I to search for dreams
Watch magic woven by degrees.
          If I could fly...

You really cheer me up. I had a hard time learning how to write a Rondeau, for some reason. Now I see it's not that hard. Maybe I need more protein :) Take care!
