Where Is Caylee Rondolet

Where is Caylee?
A little girl with smiling eyes
Where is Caylee?
No one’s seen her around lately
But her mother swears she’s alright
Now Grandma’s nose smells homicide
Where is Caylee?


(*this is supposed to capture the moment in time before they found her body --. for those of you who don't know the story, Caylee disappeard and her mother Casey Anthony told lie after lie about where she was. Caylee's grandmother got suspicious when she smelled the scent of a dead body coming from Casey's trunk. people and police searched for the little girl and eventually found her body buried in a trash bag, duct-taped. Casey just went to trial for it and was acquitted of the murder, much to the dismay of the general public.)

I would like to know exactly what happened to Caylee. so this is the one you were talking about? I wish I had time to soupmail you, just quickly, line 4 has no rhyme with the other lines. However, I very much liked your poem, Susan. It is like a rondeau with the repeating line. rondeau twice the size of rondolet but I very much enjoy them. well, I finally got to soup but now my time has passed and I need to get to church. HOpe to see more new poems from you. Keep up on those challenges, sweetie!

My heart goes out to little Caylee's grandmother. No one will ever know the truth about what really happened to her, Susan. And it appears that nobody will be held accountable for her death. Terrific entry for Dr. Ram's contest and I wish you success! Love, Carolyn
