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

Comment from LJbutterfly
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.

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

Comment from John Ciarmello
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.

Comment from karenina
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.

Comment from Janet Foor
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.
