To give credit where it is due, I need venture no further.
Rondeau Redoublé, which has now also been published in an
issue of Pilcrow & Dagger, has come a long way. Here, years ago, I first posted a stab at a rondeau redouble. Strangely, I resumed this most untenable and claustrophobic scheme known to rhyme and refrain, only with more resolve to see all twenty-four lines through to satisfaction (plus the hemistich). Anyway, it seems fitting that I should wind up eking more from it, having worked harder on it than I have on any other poem. Reward proportionate to toil, call it poetic justice if you like. I am grateful to you all, and then some. From the recycling heap, in fact, to Amazon.com shows these workshops pay more dividends than I ever expected. What else can I say but thank you?
Gratias.
