This is really a lovely picture of words, Tom, to go perfectly with the lovely picture photo you took. You are really clever at finding lovely scenes to snap. Very enjoyable, and I did like the style, the Tercets were perfect. :) Sandra. xsx

A delightful story that captured the attention of the reader in the same way that the sight of the garden captured your.
Awesome pairing of picture and poem.

Again, I don't know how you do it. This is such an interesting, and difficult form. May I ask, dumb question I know, what exactly is a tercet?

Great alliteration in shafts of sunlight came shining through. Beautifully worded. Sloped stone wall. Great. Fantastic close too. Was this in trochaic?

Sorry I've taken so long to review. I have a newborn. He's been taking up my time of course. But I'll be back reviewing full force soon. I miss reading your work.

    Thank you Gregory. A tercet is a 3 line stanza. Glad you enjoyed it .

You really love your town and the scenery and I like the adventurer in you when I read these almost comical lines:
" A pond, the center of it all,
Surrounded by a sloped stone wall,
Was a perfect place to find a duck , or two.
A duck or two, indeed, my friend, Tom. Well done.

What a lovely tribute to a beautiful scene. Your words create a picture to match the one above. I liked your use of tercets and rhyming. I felt this form engaged the reader and kept your expressions' focus.

as always, a lovely photo
I like the rhymes and the rhyme scheme
good cadence when read aloud and good flow from line to line because of the enjambment
good use of alliteration such as in surrounded by a sloped stone
good detail of setting
and I like the celebratory tone, especially in the closing :-) Brooke

Another nice one, a fitting companion to a lovely photo. I hope the food there is as good as the view. Another interesting form using tercets is the Italian Terza Rima. There is no set rhythm or overall length but the rhyme scheme goes: aba, bcb, cdc, ded, e. Yes there is a concluding single line that can become a couplet. It is a fun form to play with. I shall be posting one soon.
