Rotten Fruit (Rondeau)
this is my attempt at a rondeau
Rotten fruit falls down on its own
Plentiful harvest won't be known
No hand need pull it to the ground
Crows and vermin will feast around
Sickly decay will be unsown
Mere silence through barren trees blown
Orchard dies with a quiet moan
A broken heart makes the same sound
Rotten fruit falls down
Free of you, I'm walking alone
Peacefulness inside me has grown
Maggot infested flesh has browned
Ripe and rot eternally bound
Blight has not turned my love to stone
Rotten fruit falls down

I am trying new styles and decided to reuse one of my other pieces Rotten Fruit https://vocal.media/poets/rotten-fruit-mc6pg087c to practice with.
Not quite feeling this, so feedback is greatly appreciated!!

Finally realizing I need to start acting like the main character in my own life. Writing helps me figure out where I keep losing the plot and giving away my spotlight. My story is a big mix of drama, comedy, tragedy, thriller, and, horror.
