Georgia Kereopa Poet Rondeau

Poet, the Alchemist

Poet, the Alchemist of prose 
magician, conjurer, word flows
vivid imagery, life sublime 
illuminating minds through time
a poet’s imagination

Sweetly words lie in hallowed rows
casting and themes, a story grows
or rhyme and skip along a page
Poet, the Alchemist.

Perhaps a poet’s holy grail
write one poem that might entail
philosophy, enlightenment
that would be an accomplishment
non-fiction, not a fairy tale
Poet, the Alchemist.

Charles Messina August 4, 2019 at 7:32 AM Wonderful poem Georgia, unfortunately in the line "write that one line that might entail" there are 9 syllables. Thanks for entering my contest. Loved the poem. Charlie Georgia Kereopa August 4, 2019 at 1:53 PM Thanks Charles for your observation and feedback.

Andrea Dietrich July 28, 2019 at 2:02 PM This is really pretty. Love the imagery you used! I see you used a different rhyme for your a and b rhymes in each verse. I hope it is accepted that way. I really like that style of doing it because it gives more freedom to the writer. Georgia Kereopa July 29, 2019 at 6:18 AM Hi Andrea, first time penning a Rondeau and I interpreted the instructions literally. I see what you mean, now I've revisited, poem examples. Well this will be my learning from this exercise.
