The Trijan Refrain is a form I've not encountered before. You use its rhythms in a way that resonates with the sounds of a summer evening. Very nicely done.

Well done with this one Yvonne, you have written a fine trijain refrain. I generally like repeating lines, the normally strengthen the whole poem, well done, good job, blessings Roy

This poem reads like a song of summer sounds of joy! It's a beautiful example of a trijan refrain. Your poems of nature are always outstanding. I really enjoyed this one!

This looks very difficult and you nailed it like a pro, Yvonne. Beautifully written and illustrated in spring green. Summer sounds are all around in my yard too.

Sending you my best today as always, and my very best for the challenge.

This was a great trijan refrain, damommy. I loved the picture of all the cicadas. I really loved your words because they told the truth about nature. Blessings n Hugs!!!

The author's poem is nature based and the description of the scene was
awesome! I liked the author's creativity in using the sounds to create
this poem are musical! The poem flows and connects well. The artwork
is perfect and goes well with the theme and words of this poem.
Hope you had a great Sunday!.....Maroa

Your club poem was excellent, Yvonne. I enjoyed
reading it. You adhered to the complex rhyme scheme
and repeated refrain perfectly. There were great examples
of alliteration scattered throughout. I liked the mention
of nature's critters creating a concert which could be
heard inside or outside. Before reading your poem, I
admired its display. The image fit nicely. I liked the
mention of the morning glory blossoms. The repeated
lines fit seamlessly-- with the first one wrapping up the
previous lines, and the second one leading into the last
line of the verse.
Thanks for participating, Jan

This is a fine form and I enjoyed your well chosen repeated lines to give this poem its backbone. Those songs sound good outside in nature, much enjoyed, love Dolly x

This is beautiful. It's so lyrical, and the repeated lines work perfectly. You have the reader imagining the sounds of the cicadas and crickets. You also bring in sensory appeal with the clover and rose. Lovely description of the calm at the end of the day. Great work with the Trijan Refrain. judi
