	Jerusha - November 17, 2008 Thank you, Harry. In truth, it's the first time I've tried a rondeau, but having done it, I like the form very much.
	HarryB - November 17, 2008 Nicely understated composition, Jerusha. A lot hidden here and more effective for being so.

	Veemem - November 9, 2008 Don't give up just ask bint to edit for you and I'm sure she will, the second one is best and the second line of the seventh stanza just needs fixing. I love the theme of the poem and you have handled it very well, what we really need on this site is a facility for previewing our work and editing if needs be before submitting, that way we can fiddle with them intil we are satisfied. But I'm sure bint will come to your rescue. Val x
	Jerusha - November 9, 2008 I give up on this, Val. My edit got all screwed up and I don't know why.
	Veemem - November 9, 2008 Oh our posts must have crossed I see now that you have done it. Great. Valx
	Veemem - November 9, 2008 Tha second version is much better you took out the repetitivebefore me in the first stanza that didn't sound right. In the 7th stanza of the 2nd version, should that read and a woman's reality or A woman's reality? I also liked the very last stanza that you have tacked on after edit Put altogether it would be a great poem Val x

	Jerusha - November 4, 2008 I girded myself to not like this poem. Surprise! You had me completely at "It�s nearly quarter to a smile." Wonderful, poignant poem. Heady imagery spoken economically. Thank you!
	sunken - November 4, 2008 Thanks for reading, Ms. Val. Sorry about the late reply. The poem's about her still being there. She's asleep and he's awake. He knows, from experience, that this will probably be the first and last time that he'll wake up with her in his bed. They have a habit of doing a runner on him when they've sobered up. Yes it happens to blokes too. I'm always quite chuffed when they get interpreted differently tho. Thanks again for reading. And while I'm here, thanks to that smashing Ms. Bint for flagging me up. Ahem. Now there's an image. Cheers Val. s u n k s but mummy, i don't want to be an accountant
	Veemem - November 1, 2008 That's lovely sunky, I can see what bint meant about the last line, but I think that it could be read either way.. it could mean that she is still there , on the other hand she could be gone and you are just seeing her because you are pining for her Ohhh I'll just get a hankie to mop up my tears. sniffs Val xx
