Life's No Cartoon-Rondeau

Life's no cartoon, perhaps on the moon? Must I live as a laughing goon? I won't make the heart not matter! Nor observe the world, just shatter! My poetry is not one of a loon. Poetry where, I reach your soul. Sparkling spots,and those dark as coal! I shall hold your soul, it does matter. Life's no cartoon! Rarely, an image I do post! My poetry is to count most! Ah, to write with words of beauty and continuity. Poetry that lifts humanity. Please, do not pen meaningless ghosts. Life's no cartoon! 3/5/2021 ~ 4~ My Very First Rondeau Added suggestions to Soup Mail, please.

It's a complex form, Darlene, but I do like it. Agree, life's no cartoon. But we all can make it through...I have seen and experienced miracles in my life and in others... Hope you got your rest! Pangie

Good morning, Robert! Always want to know, your analysis of my poems for you saw something in me from the beginning that I did not see. I refuse to be a plastic poet, writing shallow Poetry. But I have written those as well.Arg. Good to still see them in any case. Like markers in a road. Reminders to not write that way again! The best thing is~letting go of not writing to please with a gaggle of followers. AS IF comments decided on a poems worth. It does not. I am glad that I am read. All of us have time constraints...mine is weak vision. Wish you were here to celebrate my birthday on the 13th. The years are many. The blessings on my life overwhelm me. Thank you for FAVIng this, dear Poet. Panagiota

It's only one of many classical forms.. I am trying to learn more of. Did you know Poetry was sung in ancient Greece.? So, obviously this involved rhyme..and use of many vowels and consonants. With classical forms you can express far more. Teachers of Poetry know this. But..to each his own. Depth exists in this classicsl forms. What's more, it will align your thought. I found that true in quatrains. A long way, do I have to go)))) Thank you, Tom. PANGIE
