A lovely poem. I don't know much about the way different types of poetry are formatted, so I will just accept that you know what you are doing and that it is correct.
I like the reference to the the robin. It's beautiful.
All the best in the contest.
Jan

This Kyrielle celebrates the simple pleasures of Nature -the Robin's song - a joy and a delight and an inspiration, juxtaposed with possible other special moments 'dine with Kings' which may never be realised but which can never compare with the song of the Robin

The beauty and unfailing cheerfulness of the robin's song can wean us away from the worst of our sorrows and compensate for many missed advantures and lost opportunities. Your poem makes the point well. Good luck in the contest - one of the stronger entries.

I am mightily impressed with your poem. Your rhymes are good and the lines transition well. I particularly like the words you chose to rhyme with song. Sarong makes me envision an exciting, exotic lifestyle. Belong makes the reader aware that nature comforts you when you feel alone. The ecstasy you feel with the robin's song is even more important than belonging. And your use of strong indicates that nature compensates for physical weakness. All together they contribute to an excellent message. And you did it all under such writing restrictions.

A beautifully written Kyrielle my friend an outstanding entry in this Kyrielle contest, the repeated refrain line, " but I have felt the Robyn's song" was very affective in balancing out and giving substance to the rest of this aabb rhymed tetrametric quatrains, well done, great entry, blessings, Roy

A very well-written Kyrielle with a strong repeating line that flows naturally from the previous lines to bring everything together with good rhyming.
