Hello, I am PandaPaws and I am reviewing this piece as part of the Simply Positive Group!

How I found your piece...because I am trying to review every participant of THe Game of Thrones. I might finish before winter...

First impressions...Rondelet is one of my favorite forms of poetry. I enjoy having to maintain the syllable counts where lines a and b are twice the length of A, all while trying to keep the refrain relevant to the rest of the poem. You have accomplished this with your poem.

Was the title interesting...I chose to read and review this piece all based on the title. Your poem fits the prompt very well.

Was the content rating appropriate...I think so.

Did you use a specific form of poetry...Yes, you chose a Rondelet.

Did you follow the form...The form was followed perfectly. The following is the rhyme scheme and the position of the refrains within the form; AbAabbA with A being the refrain and being half the length of a and b.

Was there a rhyme scheme- what was it...The rhyme scheme is describes as well above and you followed that as well.

Did the rhymes seem forced...The rhymes fit perfectly together and none of the words seem forced to fit.

Were words forced to fit syllable count...These do not seem forced either. Excellent job!

Was there rhythm and flow...There was rhythm and flow to your piece. Maintained by the form of the poem you chose.

Any errors in grammar, spelling, or punctuation...I found no errors in any of these areas.

Things I would change...I think the only thing I would change is I would attempt to put a bit more alliteration in the piece. But, this is only my opinion and you know best about your poem.

Favorite parts/lines...I enjoyed the whole poem and I really could not pick one particular part to single out.

Great Job!
