He wrote what he was experiencing during the First World War and how death was realized by this generation for the first time. This work was quite efficient in doing what it needed to do. It is difficult for a poet to convey a single message in a collection of

Ironically‚ Moon Rondeau is not actually written using a rondeau poem format. It is used to give an imagery of the repetitiveness of love (Constantakis‚ 2011). Moon Rondeau was written in 1963 by Carl Sandburg. It is a poem of love‚ and the innocence‚ and hope that come with it.

It bears a sense of romance and brings forth images that convey strong emotions
