This is an excellent Rondeau, and seasonal. I love the slow dreamy winter feeling evoked by the choice of the words 'as snow drifts down' as the refrain.

Hello Kate. Thank you for your encouraging review. It is the time of winter snow and we are supposed to have some tonight... yippee... we don't get much snow here in central Virginia, so I am looking forward to it. I appreciate your thoughts on this one!!

Why is this not an entry in the Rondeau contest, Melissa? This is lovely and you make this challenging format look so easy. I really like how you SET THE SCENE, allowing us to share the Speaker's reverie as she watches "snow drift down." I especially like this image: "slow hours pass/An ethereal, white love affair." And you sustain the soft MOOD beautifully throughout. I am enchanted!

Resonates deeply with me, as I expressed in my recent poem. Well down. I love a white love affair. Lately, you have been coming up with some very nice turns of phrases and images.

An exquisite offering, Melissa!
Now... did I read that you are currently "under the weather" with Covid? If so, I hope you heal soon. But, if you aren't too ill, what a wonderful opportunity to lie low, and let your creative juices flow! :)
Thank you for sharing!
Perfect form and message!

Hello Diane. You words delight me and I am so glad you enjoyed this rondeau... and, yes, I am under the weather. But, not too bad. :). I am able to be more involved on FS as I lay around. :). Thank you so very much.
