Is this a poem or a Dondiesque Mope?

Question

For Dondi, as our planet cries:

Singing to Mars

by Elaine P

When ‘ere I meet your poetry

it softly, gently touches me,

it carries me up through the stars

to our new home on Planet Mars.

Sweet music fills my heart with hope,

with you I never need to mope,

you taught me how to sing again

to melodies that ease my pain.

For death I do not need to wait,

your songs fly me to Heaven’s gate,

entranced by all the songs you sing

my essence to the stars takes wing.

Your heart is made of purest love,

and goodness fits you like a glove,

forever will I happy be

when ‘ere I meet your poetry.

No mope here!  A lovely tribute to a classic troubadour!  Very nice indeed.

Answer 2

End rhymed and well said, sounds like something that he pens!   Compliments

Answer 3

I don't know about mope, but I guess it is a little brooding.   It definitely has a  Dondiesque quality about it.  This is a charming poem with a winsome sentiment.

Very nice.

Lovely cheers for Dondi, He is a superior Bard, with many

surprises.

It is a Doniesque mpoe.

Answer 6

I am truly honored, not only by the lovely poem, but by the kind words from the others as well.

Answer 7

O Planet, lonely Planet, cry,

Such strains of plangent poetry;

O sail our sweets upon your sigh,

Pilgrims, we weep who fly, and hie,

To Mars, where we'll show it t' ye.

Respectfully,
