Teenage years, Highschool, what exciting, terrifying, yet most memorable years, as we continued our journey, I recall them as regretful but most informational, what a wonderful form of poetry, very well written and presented****kahpot

This is a poem of memories the protagonist would rather not have. Who wants to remember being played for a fool? I am not a poet and therefore appreciate your description of a Rondelet, which you followed perfectly.

An enjoyable read. I found this to be sad poem I can relate to, which I surprisingly found comforting.

I enjoyed the overall flow of this piece. I appreciate the impact of your chosen refrain as well.

This work has reached the exceptional level

High school memories are never rusty, they remain green no matter how bitter, or sweet the experience. Mine was a sweet and very memorable one, and still carries me on till this day. Thanks for sharing your thoughts well presented in a Rondelet which is a new form I have learnt today and will give a try to write. Well done, dear TEAFOR2

I enjoyed this! Something happened in their high school years when she was fascinated with a boy who played her like a fool. I like the Rondelet style, and I'm still learning about all the different styles.

Best, JohnC

The flashback this piece brings of my time in high school when I thought each boy was going to be the boy for me for the rest of my life. Then the heartbreak came.

I enjoy the Rondolet form and you've presented it nicely. I'm also old enough to feel these memories come flooding back, and on the whole they are happy memories. I think something's wrong with this line:

"me being with you were so cool"

not "were" but "was" maybe?

You should begin a Rondolet contest!

I might even give it a try.

Memories of high school sweethearts is bittersweet.
Remember when" is an excellent repeating line in the well written rondelet form poem.
I think you have accomplished the form perfectly.

Blessings
Janet.

I think most of us remember our high school sweethearts, even though we didn't marry them. They were our first loves. I enjoyed reading this wonderfully written rondelet. Thank you for sharing it with us.
