Default Rondeau on "Form in Formless Times"

I don't write many rondeaux, but this is one of them.

Brilliant, Susan. An evil twin is a great subject for a poem (I used to have one), and the way she sheds her skin but won’t be put back in the bottle is proof that mixed metaphors can work wonderfully well. I was unfamiliar with rondeaux, and it’s a tribute to your talent that I didn’t sense the skill level involved until you pointed it out.
