Jeff Kyser Poet Rondeau Redouble

Now Look

Now look what he's done
Yes, please have a look
He's just having fun
Just don’t throw the book

It took time to cook
That yarn that he spun:
Know how long that took?
Now look what he's done

There’s no smoking gun
He's a babbling brook
He’s silly, this one
Yes, please have a look

I laughed till I shook
’Twas witty, that pun
When he sets the hook
He's just having fun

He's bold, and he stuns,
But he's not a crook
There’s no need to shun
Just don’t throw the book

In his own little nook,
He’s second to none
He’ll change your outlook
For he's just begun
Now look…

no narcissism here, lol

L Milton Hankins March 23, 2022 at 8:27 AM Hmmm...I thought this was about your grandson! Jeff Kyser March 23, 2022 at 8:34 AM I thought it would be interesting for the tail in verse 6 to rhyme with the a/b scheme, and it kind of took on a life of its own. When it was finished, it looked sort of narcissistic, although that really wasn't the intention! Maybe it is a commentary on an undertone in publishing poetry on the soup, lol.
