This is a form I like very much and I was pleased to see how many of you decided to give it a try.
A moving tribute from Ken. This last week has seen one such senseless tragedy after another.
Thoughts for Those Who Will Not See This Full Moon | rivrvlogr
On a lighter note…
From Kat Myrman. So many gorgeous images in this short poem! That penumbral cusp, for example…
Worm Moon – a Nove otto | like mercury colliding…
Kim (in Norfolk) I can’t believe that’s a true self-portrait!
Writer’s Block – writing in north norfolk
Kerfe’s poem is a nice use of the repetitive construct to underline the repetition of the seasons.
What Part 2 | method two madness
From Merril, another lovely poem including Ozymandias and spindrift 🙂

Doug, the Elusive Trope. So dark and unsettling. ‘the rasp of madness windblown’—great phrase.
The Crow— ‘the woods still sigh the owls still weep’. Another dark brooding poem full of a sinister light.
Jennifer from the Graceful Press with the antidote to brooding and unsettling. This is pure loveliness.

From Geoff Le Pard, a light-hearted poke at his dear dad 🙂
Janice with a winter-crisp story of domestic, if not bliss, understanding.
A breathtaking collection once again. You really do produce some gobsmacking stuff! Call back tomorrow for a new theme.
theres some good stuff in there.
Real poetry 🙂
Too true
Another wonderful collection!
And so wildly different styles!
I know! I love that–seeing all the different styles.
Yes, every week I’m amazed not just at the different subjects but the totally different music created by each one. (K)
You’re right—it is like music. There’s always a dark counter-point to the light hopeful poems, and a sunny side to chase away the unsettling lines. Wonderful combination 🙂
Thanks for making the learning so easy and COOL…enjoying each an every challenge you pose…another amazing set of entries…all thanks to you Jane
I’m glad you’re getting so much fun out of the exercise, Sri 🙂
Yes Jane…you were the inspiration…you gave me the idea of writing a series and also an oppurtunity to experiment amd experience multiple Poetry formats
That makes me very happy 🙂
Jane, this one is for you…
Writing was just a hobby,
Scribbles in the lobby,
You have me inspiration,
right direction, right direction….
I hope it stays the right direction 🙂
This turned out to be easier than I expected. The next one? now that looks tough.
Don’t worry. It is. At least it will make rhyme look easy 🙂
I thoroughly enjoyed reading these poems!
I really liked this form. Might give it another spin sometime.
It is a versatile form 🙂
