Greetings, Dave .

I'm Jace, and I have the honor of reading and reviewing your offering "My Brother Joe"  for the "~ The Poet's Place Cafe~"  group. *Smile*

*Puzzle4* Form. You chose a Rondeau poetic format containing 15 lines with a specific pattern for rhyme and repetition.

*Note1* Overall Impression. I followed your meter pretty well while reading--eight beats per line with two exceptions. I tend to read poetry out loud; I find it easier to follow. I noted one issue (see below).

*Exclaim* Technical or Editorial Considerations. I invite your attention to the comments below. Please bear in mind these notes are from one on the outside looking in; ultimately only you can decide what's right for your poem.

         *Bullet* I stumbled over this line--it just didn't flow well for me. It sounded stilted. A suggestion follows:  as my brother finished final ride  my brother finished his final ride

*Star* Rating.  4.5. 

*Heart* Thank you for sharing this offering. Please accept these comments as offered in friendship and support. They are but my humble opinions.
