This work has reached the exceptional level

We all have a special place where we can soak up the pure energy that invigorates our soul. Surrounded by living trees that give you inspiration and the critters that forage amongst the leaves; peace, perfect peace.

A very well-written Quatern about a place deep in the woods that can bring a feeling of peace to the heart and soul. Your repeating line work very well in this poem and the rhyming seems to be a very good combination.

Hi, June,

Thank you for sharing this lovely poem. I loved the repeating line and marveled how it changed from stanza to stanza, though the words remained the same. The artwork was a great compliment to the words.

Wow--I almost missed the deer in the wonderful silhouetted artwork! I enjoyed your rhymes and repeats, along with your "Jason" analogy and "treasure" metaphor. Here's to "Inspiration"! -Joan

This is a great potlatch poem, June. The quatern is one of my favorites. I always rhyme mine as you have done. Your lines flow smoothly with a special message. Communing with nature allows one's mind to focus on beauty. Yes, then new fresh ideas come to you. The picture is beautiful and a great pairing. Thanks for sharing. Jan

This is a well written quatern, June.
I love the way you slip from woods to
words and adjust the quatrain to the
action. Well done my friend.
Nice presentation.
Nancy:)

As you intended, this is so peaceful, June. When I saw the title, I actually thought "good, this is one that I am going to enjoy." And I did. I like the simplicity of the line that you repeat. I take a walk in the woods nearby everyday. As soon as I get under the tree canopy, "calmness reigns."
This is nice, June.

I read another poem here where the same line comes 1st in the 1st verse, 2nd in the 2nd verse, etc. Is this a feature of this type of poem? It's very effective.

    So glad you enjoyed my effort at writing a quatern. I've always liked this format of the repeating line moving down the stanzas. Thanks for the kind review.
