Here is a rondelle for Gayle's prompt over at dversepoets.com and for Valentine's Day.



Dawn broke in shattered shards of stippled green;as the gentle voice of spring was heard;you arrived on a shrimp boat's bobbing stern,I swam to meet you in night tourmaline 
I found you as you were finding meAt each glance or sound, my heart stirred Dawn broke in shattered shards of stippled green;as the gentle voice of spring was heard
Soul mates, you were the best part of melike sipping the sweetest of Sauternes,leaving me nothing for which to yearnEmbraced by time, our love endured, unalteredDawn broke in shattered shards of stippled green

  4. This is just perfect, Kathy. I envy how your use of slant rhyme and flow keeps the sing song effect at bay. Just lovely.
