Christine,
I have no idea what an Awdl Gynt poem is, but I do know beautiful poetry when I read it. This is a well written poem, one that I can relate too. Excellent meter and rhyming and very smooth flow. Thanks for sharing a most enjoyable read. Exceptional job my friend. Blessings..............Portia

This alwd gynt has all the proper formatting and looks at the topic of family through a happy lens. It's good to have such vibrant memories of pleasant times.

Comment from Pam (respa)
-First, so glad to see you back ��
-Excellent poem with good rhyme, meter, and flow of ideas.
-A tough form to do, but you did it well.
-I like the progression in the poem; from childhood, to when you are grown and are in a wonderful relationship; to moving forward from there.
* I wouldn't say you are 'quite old!'
-You have so many good observations about memories, but this sums it up the best:
"They are to me much more than gold
behold I'm telling you,
I wouldn't change a single thing."
-Good entry; good luck in the contest.

Comment from rspoet
The form seems very well done to me
with the tetra and trimeter lines
correct external and internal rhymes
and very fine iambic flow
Life is good when you wouldn't change a thing
from childhood right to the present
"friends family, everything
all make me sing; it's true"
Doesn't get much better than that
Very well done

An excellent first attempt at this complex format, you convey the joys your life has brought. You got the rhyming and meter right and wrote a lovely poem. Best of luck in the contest.

Comment from royowen
It looks like you've captured the essence of the Awdl Gynt Christine, I think there's a little bit more going on outside of family and friends. You've done an excellent job here,, a favourite theme of mine articulate, good accurate rhyming, cross rhymes and syllable count. Well done, good luck, blessings, Roy

A very well-written spiritual poem portraying your most inner feelings. Although we are getting old, our memories will be our treasure worth more than gold.
