A rondeau for the Crowdfunding Creative Jam:

With horns and hooves a sheep descends
From where the rocky ridge extends;
The shepherd boy who doesn't talk
Daily drives his woolly flock
To where the river gently wends.

And every day the troll there sends
His herd of goats among those bends.
They mingle by the cloven rock
With horns and hooves.

And those two herds to one mass blends;
The troll and shepherd each defends
The whole of that ungainly flock.
No need for a misfit boy to talk
Safely there among his friends
With horns and hooves.

Aww...

I'm glad you like it. Writing a rondeau was a soothing experience.
