Cherished



You are cherished
rose print, tucked in my memory
You are cherished
sunset, orange-framed, untarnished  
as sea bore you on ivory
hands, cradled vessel…. till blurry-

You are cherished

Poetry form:   Rondelet:   This is a typical French form that uses a refrain and two rhymes. The first, third and last line are four syllables or two feet, and the four lines remaining are eight syllables or four feet.  This gives a rhyme scheme of: A. b. A. a. b. b. A

    And when it is used as skilfully as this, it produces beautiful poetry. This is a delightful example, Grace.

    I agree with Tony, you rocked the rondelet, but never lost the beauty; a poem of perfection; nice romp, thanks.

    Cherish is such a beautiful word, and it so suits being a theme for the rondolet form.

    I think it's always important to remember that no matter what you are cherished by somebody and it's a beautiful feeling, wonderful and cosy little piece of writing Heaven.

    Lovely and stylish. The sentiment of being cherished is wonderful, too. Done so smoothly in the rondelet, Grace.

    ..please allow me to echo the early birds in singing: 'gorgeous'.... there is no other way to demonstrate the quality of beauty you put in your rondelet but gorgeous.... as your other works are... smiles...

    truly beautiful! I love the visual—the color, the "ivory hands", and "till blurry." really lovely.

    I love the theme of your poem - it is so sweet and light - like a floating dream. No, there is a better description - "as sea bore you on ivory". :-)

    You make "beautiful" look easy. Of course, it usually isn't.

    ... on second thoughts, the poem might just be more wistful than light and dreamy. On second reading, the poem is a remembrance of somebody who is gone.

    I guess, that us what good poetry is all about - there are many layers to it. :-)
