I like this a lot, you. I'm always impressed by people who can pull of any sort of poetry.

I love writing poetry, but it had been a while. :) Glad you liked it!

So very different from others I've read. I like it.

Thanks! I figured I'd take a chance at something different, didn't figure anyone else would write a paradelle even though it is a form that's inherently based on deconstruction.

Good for you. It made it an unique entry too.

I'm not all that fond of Billy Collins, but I love this.

Very creative.

Oh, that's really neat. I've never seen a paradelle but now I want to try one.

I learned about them in a creative writing class where we created them from the letters written by Jack the Ripper...I'd say this was easier, but it really wasn't. Definitely give one a shot though! It's an interesting exercise in word choice, and makes you VERY conscious of all the little words you use.
