The Curse of Innocence

Haha, your bathos or others'?  There's a hell of a lot of it around (though your absurdity, being self aware, does not qualify I fear.  You are not sunk, sorry.) 

It's not the ellipsis that bugs me, but the Purgatory thing itself, which sticks out horribly as an easy cliche.  I just don't think it marries up with the subtlety(ish) of the rest of the poem.  I think it's best to look at another rhyme instead of "rued" -- you've not used nude yet   Or just un-cliche it.  (I'm all for taking the piss out of cliche poets -- that's how I make my non-existent living -- but not with such a dull hammer).  

Though, there's not many things I hate more than writing a complete piss-take and getting comments about how lovely it is, how well written, oh you're marvellous but I've got no sense of irony so I don't know what you're on about but I'm going to compliment you anyway just in case it's a masterpiece that I can't understand...

And you've handled the rentrement well, even in the last stanza, so that's the big hurdle of the rondeau taken neatly.
