I enjoyed your club challenge poem. Good job with the style. Your lines flow smoothly and create great imagery of the evening stroll. I could see everything as I read. The art is a good pairing, too. Thanks for sharing.
Respectfully, Jan

Evening Stroll
by JLR

Hello my friend


Great entry for the Potlatch Poetry Trimeric challenge. I'm not familiar with the form but reading your author notes it looks like you did well.

You did a good job with this form, and the imagery was so vivid. I'm thinking you saw a pixie or something like it in the forest. I especially like these lines: "the last golden rays showered the mountain top shadows casting long tendrils into the fading light."

Well done.

Hello JLR,

How nice is this poem about having an evening stroll. I am sitting right at this moment on my deck with hubby finishing up a wonderful meal. Now, to go for a stroll would the icing on the cake:-) This is a lovely written poem, sir. Yes, you can discover many new things on an evening stroll. Nicely written. Lovely artwork. Well-done.

I like the imagery in the first stanza, particularly "shadows casting long tendrils into the fading light." I also like how the image in the second stanza flows into the third ("[...]made me want to dance away to the point where the waning rays had ceased").

The line "Though I squeezed my eyes for every last ray" seems out of place after the first stanza. It doesn't make sense grammatically and gives the impression that it's an action that would normally not make the maiden smile, which I'm not sure is intentional.

JLR,
I enjoyed your poem, the imagery is stunning.
I love nature, gardens, blue skies and all that it
encompasses. Your poem checked all these boxes.
Your poem is well crafted, to add a fair maiden
among the flowers brings a smile to any male
reader. Thank you for sharing.
Blessings,
Richie b

I think you have spent an evening fading into night up here in the Appalachian Mountains! I adore the repeat lines in the Trimeric poetic style. I certainly was swept away as your words are very descriptive. Well penned.

This was lovely, but you messed up the last stanza by taking a line from the 2nd, not the 3rd. I loved the words, though. I think it was realy beautifully written.

Your trimeric is skillfully and creatively written, vividly descriptive, and delightful. You have painted a gorgeous scenario, sunset ending with a bit of visual magic.
