congregating tribes

congregating tribes
the tribes had met
they congregated every spring
the tribes had met
they ventured there despite the threat
to trade and barter everything
to marry off and seal with ring
the tribes had met

Verification wastes my time, and often doesn't work. I am going to stop commenting on pages that require verification one of these days.

The powerful rhythm made me think of a tribal heart beat..dancing..in unison..great write..Jae
Very nice!
Love the simplicity of this and thanks for the rondolet instructions! I always love learning new poetic forms.
Love the form. Nice write, Zongrik!
I always love coming here because you surprise me (in a good way)! I’m not good with form, or actually, I just make up my own, so seeing you do this is wonderful.
Very interesting…
Nicely done, zongrik.

You’re spreading your wings..and trying new forms, and most successfully…I like this alot!
Nicely done. Haven’t tried a rondelet. Yet.
As I read this I have many words between those lines… eagerly wondering what else is in the story…
You have left me in a mystery 🙂

simple lines, it contains remarkable stuff in it, some unsaid yet for readers to dig.
great entry,
Very good rondelet and all in good form too! 🙂 I appreciate learning about and reading all the new (or at least ‘new to me’) types of forms and poetry you share on your blog. Once again, nice work!
Married off and ready to start a new tribe. Beautiful. I love the image.
Brilliant as ever!
Great use of the form!
Very nice! I love the form and the rhyme scheme you came up with. My favorite line was: “they ventured there despite the threat.” Shows great courage. Peace, Linda
wonderful use of form. K.
Yes… lovely incantation within these lines!

well done, thanks for sharing and waiting, smiles.
Happy Weekend.
As a card-carrying member of the Poetic-Forms Tribe, I love that you used a form – and did so wonderfully! A terrific verse. ☼
