I feel your prompts have been a huge part of my recent growth as a poet. In some ways, this piece, which grew out of two prompts, may be my finest achievement yet. I like this rondeau format. I like how the refrain breaks up the rhyme pattern and creates sort of a pregnant pause in the piece--pregnant pause is my favorite literary term.
