Trois Par Huit--Tanka--Rondel

**A Love In Transition**


My mission,
this love in transition.
Started, a platonic love as friends.

It was not my intent, no more can I pretend.
These impending changes, remissed as I contend.
The muse of my latest poetry,

potent, our chemistry.
Hopefully!!


Am I a villain,
a wolf cloaked in sheep clothing
causing this friction?
Me ignoring these feelings
is treacherous to my heart.


This love that is in transition,
I'm incomplete and must not retreat.
Should I stay this course or flee,
is she real or a ghostly apparition.

Captivated by this rendition, her disposition,
intelligent and sweet.
This love that is in transition,
I'm incomplete and must not retreat.

Her dude is no competition
immature and full of insecurities,
quickly becoming obsolete.
One, is soon our juxtaposition,
this love that is in transition...

Thanks a lot, Jared, for this example, what a great job you've done with this challenging form. I have revised and corrected my entry.... I had that Rondel all wrong, I discovered....so hopefully I've got it corrected. I am a work in progress...ha ha...but contests like this one, are helping me hone my skills!! (Still keeping my fingers crossed that I did it right this time!! but thanks for the help!!) :) Carrie

Thanks so much for giving this example, Jared. I enjoyed the poem and copied it into Word, placing it side by side with my entry. I think I did it right and really appreciate having this fine poem as a reference for comparison. Love, Carolyn
