Wilding Fawn

I saw the raven night withdrawn as scarlet of a peacock dawn arose atop the crested east and as the bleeding scape increased one feral star I wished upon. I prayed for summer fire to yawn across my salamander lawn-- lay low the winter's ice-fanged beast. But even now gold hours are gone, September's afternoons are drawn away to Autumn's umber feast, its shadows porcupine released as further strays the wilding fawn. 10/9/17

I love how you use nature and her creatures as colours in this word/painting. It scintilates before my minds eye.

Wonderful rondeau. You use a wide variety os poetic forms, so I was wondering, do you try them all out, or do you have a lot of experience writing for instannce rondeaux. It flows quite naturally, hence my curiosity.

This my first rondeau, Darren, and I just wrote my first pantoum as well. Until I started at the soup about five months ago I had no experience with anything other than free verse. So I'm learning as I go. I want to experiment, but I wait til I think I'm brave enough.
